My dad had a lot of trouble with the pesky little vermin
he bought a 12 bore shotgun
My dad no longer has a lot of trouble with the pesky little vermin but has various leaks from the roof.

Advice please: Squirrels in the loft

We've had them in the roof twice - best to get the professionals in to deal with them, they don't charge much and it avoids the messy business of killing them yourself. First time they put traps out for them but had some difficulty because he reckoned some misguided person was releasing the poor dear things while we were out. Second time they were in the roof above the porch - he thwacked the timber holding up the roof with a stick and they shot out. Didn't charge us for that one.
You need to deal with it because apart from the noise they can apparently gnaw through your wiring and have been known to start fires that way. Round here the bigger problem is if you get a glis glis in the roof - they're protected and can do all sorts of damage including a tendency to drown in your water tank. They're also good to eat, I'm told.

These squirrels... you sure they've got 'bushy' tails
Aye. Agree. From the front they all look 'similar' I bet.
We had rats break in and run rampant in the loft of our old house. My blood ran cold. Especially when I could hear their eyes flapping (as they shook their head(s) etc.
Seriously creeped me out.
Phone your council- they are CHEAPER.

Their eyes flapping? How very odd.

Had squirrels in the loft of a previous house, after some careful planning and a fishing keep net I caught the whole family and promptly introduced them to Mr 3x2.
Didn't half make a racket running about on the boards in the loft and it drove the dog mental, he used to sit there staring at the ceiling, eyes and head following the noise and barking for Britian

He probably thought Aliens had broken into the space station and he was readying his weaponry ready for them for when they dropped down into the 'corridors'
