Squirrel Control Bishops Stortford

EPC Pest Control Services

We specialise in Squirrel Control in Bishops Stortford, with over 30 years of experience in the industry we can quickly identify the problem and recommend the best treatment to remove the infestation and deter squirrels from returning in the future.

Grey squirrels are a common pest that can be very destructive causing damage that could cost thousands of pounds to domestic and commercial properties.

Squirrels frequently enter roof spaces and once inside a property they will chew woodwork, strip away insulation from electrical wiring, damage water pipes and contaminate water tanks with urine or droppings. Even though they look big, grey squirrels are able to squeeze through very small holes to enter a property usually around the fascias or roof tiles.

Our Treatment Programme

Our pest control technician will assess the problem and and talk through the treatment approach. They will then carry out a thorough inspection of your premises prior to any treatment and assess the level and extent of the infestation.

Traps will be used to remove the squirrels, it is not possible to release them back into the wild because they will just return to the property so humane trapping is the best method. If we see any electrical damage caused by the squirrels will inform you and advise that a qualified electrician is contacted to assess the damage.

On completion of the treatment our technician will leave a report with you with details of the treatments and recommendations to help prevent further infestations.

Facts About Squirrels

Squirrel Control Bishops Stortford

Grey squirrels were first introduced to the UK in the 1870's from North America, this continued until the 1930's when it became illegal to release grey squirrels into the wild.

A squirrels front teeth never stop growing which means they must keep gnawing to keep their teeth at the correct length. They will put on extra weight to stay warm during the winter and are very acrobatic, intelligent and adaptable.

Newborn squirrels are only an inch long and have an average life expectancy of 6 years. Females of 2 years or older can bear one or two litters a year with between 1 and 9 babies in each litter.

Problems caused by Squirrels

If squirrels enter your property their need to constantly gnaw means they can cause a lot of damage to wood, insulation, electrical wiring, pretty much anything. This can result in thousands of pounds worth of damage and risks of electrical fires.

Marianna

Best pest control. Always there to re assure and utmost professionalism.

Used EPC for the first time when they came to deal with mice at 2am and since then I would not use anyone else. Clearly know what they are doing unlike many other companies in this field. Highly recommended.

Payton

We had a mouse issue which we were trying to deal with using shop brought products..

The mice just kept eating it, we still had mice for a while until we called EPC, they carried out a treatment and blocked off all areas, great service, no more mice, I would highly recommend to my family and friends

Jessie

Wow is all I can say, we had Bed Bugs in our property for months, we had a couple of well known companies in to deal with the issue, which they could not do..

They used just chemicals, after talking to EPC about a heat treatment and the treatment involved we went to the extra expense of trying it, at last we can sleep Bed Bug free, it is a bit expensive, but well worth the money when you see what they do, thanks again guys.
