How do I know if I have Glis glis in my loft?
The most common signs include scratching, running or thumping noises during the night, particularly between late spring and early autumn. You may also notice droppings, chewed insulation, damaged electrical cables or nesting materials within your loft. Because Glis glis are excellent climbers, they often gain access via overhanging trees or small gaps around the roofline. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm their presence.
Are Glis glis protected by law?
Yes. Unlike rats and mice, Glis glis are a protected species and can only be controlled under licence. Attempting to trap or remove them yourself could result in legal issues and may not resolve the infestation. A licensed pest control specialist will ensure the problem is dealt with legally, safely and effectively while complying with current wildlife legislation.
What damage can Glis glis cause to my property?
Glis glis can cause extensive damage once they enter a property. They frequently chew electrical wiring, insulation, timber and stored belongings while creating nests within loft spaces. Their constant activity can also result in disturbed sleep, unpleasant odours and contamination from droppings. Left untreated, the damage can become expensive to repair, making early intervention extremely important.
Why are Glis glis so common in the Chiltern Hills?
The Chiltern Hills provide the ideal habitat for Glis glis, with mature woodland, plentiful food sources and excellent opportunities for nesting. Since being introduced to the UK more than a century ago, the population has remained concentrated throughout this region, making Buckinghamshire and parts of Berkshire the areas where homeowners are most likely to encounter them.
How do you remove Glis glis from a property?
Professional pest control services follow strict guidelines to handle Glis glis infestations legally and humanely. Common steps include:
Risk Assessment: Conducting a basic Risk Assessment to ensure the safety of residents, children and pets.
Visual survey: Carrying out a visual survey around the property searching for potential entry points.
Trapping and monitoring: Deploying Natural England approved professional traps in accessible areas of suspected activity and monitoring them at regular intervals
Removal and dispatch: During the course of each visit we re-bait and re-set the traps and humanely dispatch any captured Glis glis.
While secondary visits may provide insight into infestation severity via droppings, visual evidence, or capture counts, the total number of required visits cannot be estimated due to their natural instinct to seek dark, enclosed cavities such as roof ceilings, attic spaces and wall voids that mimic natural hollow trees, the infestation size cannot be accurately quantified and total clearance cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that I normally seal any small visible and accessible gaps during above rodent control treatments, but this DOES NOT include issues with sealing roof tiles, roofline work, gaps in eaves or structural defects. In such cases your best option may be to engage a professional roofer, builder or pest proofing specialist such as: pestologyltd.co.uk . It is recommended to control the Glis glis infestation before any pest proofing work is carried out.
How quickly can you attend a Glis glis infestation?
We understand how stressful it can be to hear persistent scratching and movement in your loft night after night. We always aim to respond promptly, arranging an inspection as soon as possible to assess the infestation and explain the most suitable licensed control options. The sooner the problem is addressed, the less opportunity Glis glis have to cause further damage.
