GREY SQUIRREL CONTROL SERVICES
The American Grey Squirrel is a highly invasive species that poses a serious threat to native British wildlife, particularly the iconic Red Squirrel. Its impact extends to nesting songbirds and other native fauna, while also causing extensive damage to residential, commercial, and forestry properties.
At 360 Wildlife Control, we offer a comprehensive range of control methods, from one-off attic removals in domestic settings to large-scale population management in parks and woodland environments.
TAILORED SOLUTIONS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS
Each site we manage begins with a thorough field survey, activity mapping, and impact assessment. This allows us to deliver a bespoke squirrel control plan that aligns with broader environmental goals, such as biodiversity net gain, woodland creation, and carbon offsetting targets.
Government funding may be available to support these initiatives, and we can assist with the application process.

SAFE & HUMANE TRAPPING
We use live cage traps that are specifically designed to safely contain squirrels while ensuring the unharmed release of non-target species. To increase efficiency and responsiveness, we recommend pairing traps with wildlife cameras that alert our team to any capture or interference.
We also provide covert trapping options for use in public spaces or high-risk areas where discretion and public safety are key concerns.
DREY CONTROL & PRECISION SHOOTING
In the winter months, we conduct Drey control operations, flushing squirrels from their nests (Dreys) where they are dispatched by trained, licensed marksmen. This method is enhanced by the use of thermal imaging scopes and spotters, often in combination with bait stations, for humane and accurate control.
EXPERT ADVICE & BESPOKE PLANNING
