squirrel removal from a loft

We can hear scratching above the bedroom ceiling every morning and I am fairly sure it is squirrels. How much do I have to pay to get rid of them for good?

"If squirrels are in your loft, they can be caught, quite easily in live cage traps and removed.
To prevent future issues, of other squirrels living there, the loft would need proofing.
Please call me to discuss this.

"It depends which company you choose but generally it will cost £90 to £150 for a call out and where you live. Then they may require a 2nd visit if they are to trap them or proofing and the quantity of squirrels up there."

"It very much depends upon access (how easy is it to work in your loft), entry points (quantity), trapping visits, dropping cleaning exercise if needed

So an inspection should be carried out first"
