Professional Squirrel Control in Plumstead
Plumstead Common, Winns Common and Shrewsbury Park bring mature tree cover right up to the terraced streets, and in a terrace there is a complication worth knowing before you book: the squirrels may not be entering above your house at all.
In a Terrace, the Roof Void Is Shared
Squirrels reach a roof along branches, fences, cables and neighbouring roofs. Where a run of terraced houses has a continuous roof void, the animals can enter at a defect four doors down and be heard above your bedroom. Sealing your own roofline in that situation achieves nothing except a false sense of having dealt with it.
Daytime noise is still the best first indication. Heavy movement in a loft in the middle of the afternoon points at a squirrel rather than a rat, because squirrels are active in daylight.
Never block the entry point first. Sealing a roofline while animals are inside traps them in the void, where they do considerably more damage getting out - and if there are dependent young in a nest, it shuts them in.

Signs You May Need Squirrel Control in Plumstead
The full list is on the Squirrel Control Greenwich page.
- Noise with real weight to it. Thumping, rolling, dragging, and sometimes the sound of something being carried across the ceiling.
- Damage to loft insulation. Torn up, compressed and gathered into a nesting mass, usually near the eaves.
- Activity along fences, cables and overhanging branches. That is the road in.
How We Deal With Squirrels in Plumstead
The survey establishes where the entry actually is before any trapping begins, which in a terrace regularly means looking further along the run than the house the noise is in.

Can the squirrel be caught and released on the common?
No. The grey squirrel is a non-native invasive species and it is an offence to release one back into the wild or allow it to escape. That is not a company policy, it is the law, and no company can lawfully offer it.

How do I arrange a visit?
Call us and tell us what you have found, whereabouts in the terrace you are, and whether the neighbours have reported anything similar. For squirrels, the time of day you hear the activity matters more than anything else, along with whether trees or cables reach your roof.
