SPECIALIST WILDLIFE CONTROL
Experienced & Fully Licensed Glis Glis Control
Glis glis are unusual rodents that require specialist knowledge and the appropriate licence to control legally. Very few pest control companies have extensive practical experience dealing with these animals in domestic properties.
At Assured Pest Control, I specialise in targeted Glis glis trapping and removal using a systematic, carefully managed approach. My priority is to deal with activity in accessible areas of your home while providing clear information about what can realistically be achieved.

IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
How Glis Glis Enter Your Home & the Damage They Cause
Glis glis are exceptional climbers and can gain access to homes via overhanging branches and small openings in brickwork, soffits, rooflines and eaves.
Once inside, they may settle in loft insulation, wall cavities and ceiling voids. Their nocturnal activity can result in persistent scratching, disturbed sleep, damaged insulation and contamination from droppings.
They may also chew electrical wiring, creating a potential fire risk. In some properties, rodents can gain access to domestic water storage tanks, raising concerns about water hygiene.
MY APPROACH
How My Glis Glis Control Service Works
Every property is different. My approach focuses on identifying accessible areas of activity and applying appropriate licensed control measures.
01.

02
Targeted Trapping Placement of appropriate professional traps in accessible locations where Glis glis activity has been identified or is suspected.
03
Monitoring & Removal Follow-up visits to monitor activity, rebait and reset traps, and deal with captured animals in accordance with licence conditions.

Practical Advice Advice on treatment progress, visible access points and any further work that may require a specialist roofing or proofing contractor.
IMPORTANT SERVICE INFORMATION
Glis Glis Control: What's Included & What Happens Afterwards?
My service specialises in the trapping, monitoring and removal of Glis glis. While I can advise on issues identified during treatment, some associated repairs, cleaning and property-proofing work will need to be undertaken by other professionals.
- What My Service Includes
Licensed trapping and removal, monitoring of activity, follow-up treatment visits and practical advice. Small, visible and readily accessible gaps may also be sealed where appropriate after the treatments, to avoid trapping the Glis Glis inside the property.
Additional Specialist Work Not Included
Roof & Structural Proofing
I do not carry out roof tile repairs, roofline or eaves proofing, or the sealing of inaccessible gaps and structural defects. This work requires a roofer, builder or specialist proofing contractor.
Loft Insulation
Loft insulation cleaning, removal and replacement are not included in my control service. Where insulation has been damaged or contaminated, a specialist contractor should be consulted.
Domestic Water Tanks
I do not inspect water storage tanks internally or externally, remove deceased rodents from tanks, or undertake water tank cleaning and disinfection. A specialist water hygiene contractor should be contacted if contamination is suspected.
Inaccessible Voids
Glis glis can retreat deep into wall cavities and ceiling voids. I cannot undertake invasive building investigations or guarantee access to every concealed area of a property.
- Why Complete Clearance Cannot Be Guaranteed
Glis glis instinctively retreat into dark, enclosed spaces that resemble the hollow trees they use in the wild. Because the size of an infestation cannot always be accurately established, it is not possible to guarantee complete removal or predict the exact number of visits required.
Where extensive pest-proofing is necessary, appropriate Glis glis control should generally be undertaken first to reduce the risk of animals becoming trapped within the building structure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Glis Glis Questions Answered
Find answers to common questions about licensed Glis glis control, treatment limitations, proofing and the areas I cover.
How Do I Know If I Have Glis Glis in My Loft?
Common signs include scratching, scurrying or thumping noises at night, particularly during the warmer months. You may also notice droppings, disturbed insulation, nesting material or evidence of chewing. I can assess accessible areas for signs of activity and advise on appropriate next steps.
Are Glis Glis Protected by Law?
Yes. Glis glis are subject to wildlife legislation, and trapping and control require appropriate authorisation. Assured Pest Control provides a specialist licensed service to help ensure treatment is carried out in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.
Can You Guarantee Complete Glis Glis Removal?
No. Glis glis can shelter in inaccessible ceiling and wall cavities, making the full extent of an infestation difficult to establish. My service focuses on targeted trapping, monitoring and removal in accessible areas, but complete clearance and a fixed number of visits cannot be guaranteed.
Will You Seal All the Entry Points Around My Roof?
No. I may seal small, readily accessible gaps where appropriate, but roof tiles, rooflines, eaves, inaccessible openings and structural repairs are outside the scope of my service. A roofer, builder or specialist proofing contractor is best placed to carry out that work.
Do You Clean Contaminated Loft Insulation?
No. My service does not include loft insulation cleaning, removal or replacement. Where insulation has been damaged or contaminated by Glis glis, I recommend consulting a specialist loft-cleaning or insulation contractor.
What If Glis Glis Have Entered My Water Storage Tank?
Suspected rodent contamination in a domestic water storage tank should be assessed by a specialist water hygiene company. I do not inspect, clean or disinfect tanks, or remove deceased rodents from them.
Should I Proof My Roof Before Glis Glis Treatment?
Appropriate control work should generally take place before extensive proofing, to avoid sealing animals inside the property. I can explain the scope of my trapping service so that any necessary building work can be planned with the appropriate contractor.
