Squirrel Pest Control in Essex

Welcome to Town and Country Pests

Grey squirrels have become such a familiar sight in our gardens that it’s easy to forget that they aren’t actually a native species here in the UK. In fact, they are highly adaptable and invasive, and they now outnumber the native red squirrel by a huge amount. Of course, if these animals aren’t causing a problem on your property there’s no need to take action. If they are making a nuisance of themselves though, we are here to help. We are Town and Country Pests, and we provide a squirrel pest control service that property owners all over Essex recommend.

Where are grey squirrels found?

The grey squirrel can be seen in abundance in both town and countryside. They eat mainly nuts and berries along with birds’ eggs and insects. By and large they can live in harmony with humans, but they can become a pest when they persist in feasting on the home owner’s bird table and can be even more troublesome when they find their way into lofts and attics, where they can wreak havoc amongst the Christmas decorations!

Are they dangerous?

Are grey squirrels dangerous? They don’t often pass on diseases to humans, but it is possible. A grey squirrel can carry diseases such as tularemia, salmonelosis, typhus, and ringworm. These diseases tend to be transmitted through bites. Grey squirrels don’t tend to bite unless they feel like they are in danger – but if you are living in close proximity to them on your property, they could take your presence as a threat. They can also carry ticks, fleas, mites which can be left behind on you, your pets, and your property. If you happen to notice large numbers of them on your property, it could be best to take action sooner rather than later.

Our services

We provide an expert squirrel removal procedure by live trapping, which allows a prompt, efficient and humane solution to your squirrel problem.

You can be sure that all of the squirrel control services that we provide are carried out in full accordance with UK rules and regulations.

We have been providing pest control services in and around Essex since 2004, and are comfortable working in both rural and urban settings. We’ll tailor our services to suit your exact needs, helping to eradicate your grey squirrel problem and then stop them from returning in the future.

I have had dealings with Paul over a number of years now (20 years +) principally dealing with field mice in our loft. Paul is highly professional and without hesitation will always part with helpful advice and recommendations before booking an appointment. You will not find better customer service. I am in no doubt that now Toby has joined the family business, Town & Country Pests will go from strength to strength.
