Generally, the squirrel, especially red squirels, enjoy a wholesome and positive reputation. However, they can certainly be a pest in gardens, with the grey squirrel being a particular nuisance in urban areas. Furthermore, if they enter a loft space, squirrels not only make a tremendous amount of noise, but they can also cause structural damage.

Nobody really wants to exterminate these cute creatures, but grey squirrels are classed as vermin and it's illegal to release a trapped grey squirrel, or keep it in captivity. So, DR.KILL is available with a squirrel control and removal service, carrying out effective, targeted squirrel treatments for homeowners and businesses.
