Squirrel control in Fife
Grey squirrels are common across much of Fife, especially near woodland, parks and large gardens. We remove them from lofts, garages, sheds and outbuildings, from Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy to rural homes across the Kingdom.
Controlling grey squirrels also matters for wildlife. Greys carry squirrelpox, a virus that rarely harms them but is usually fatal to our native red squirrels. Red squirrels still hang on in parts of Fife, such as Tentsmuir, and Scotland is home to most of the reds left in Britain – so keeping greys in check makes a real difference here.
Our options
- One-way squirrel flaps – squirrels can leave the roof space but not get back in, then we seal the gap
- Humane lethal control – for grey squirrels where exclusion isn’t practical; by law, captured grey squirrels can’t be released
- Proofing – sealing entry points with durable, squirrel-proof materials
Rural and farm properties
Squirrels can damage stored feed, insulation and wiring in outbuildings. We’ll put together a practical plan for your property – including in Cupar and north-east Fife and around Dalgety Bay.
