Glis glis is the edible dormouse, a non-native species introduced near Tring in 1902. In Britain it is largely confined to the Chilterns and adjacent woodland, mostly within about 35 km of Tring.

Can I remove Glis glis myself?

In England, Glis glis control is licensed work. Natural England’s class licence requires prior registration or authorisation, and captured animals cannot be released.

What are the signs of Glis glis in a loft?

Typical signs include scratching or scurrying noises at night, droppings, gnawing damage to cables or insulation, nesting evidence and movement in loft or wall spaces.

Where do Glis glis usually get into houses?

They are agile climbers and often gain access through roof-level gaps, soffits, eaves and other openings, sometimes using nearby vegetation or overhanging branches as routes to the building.

Why are Glis glis such a problem in properties?

They can create repeated disturbance in lofts and cavities, damage insulation and cables, and contaminate affected areas with droppings and urine.

Do you cover areas near Tring?

Yes, we cover all of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire including Berkhamsted, Aldbury, Wigginton, Aston Clinton and the surrounding Chilterns villages.

What happens after Glis glis removal?

Once the infestation has been dealt with legally and properly, proofing is important to reduce the risk of repeat entry. Blocking holes too early is not recommended, because surviving animals may try to force their way back in and cause further damage.

Signs you may have Glis Glis

If you have Glis glis in a property, the first sign is often noise at night, such as scratching, scurrying, banging or squeaking from the loft, ceiling or wall voids.

Other common signs include droppings, gnawing damage to cables or insulation, evidence of nesting, and repeated activity in roof areas or nearby trees.

Because they can move through lofts, ceilings and wall cavities, the source of the disturbance is not always obvious at first.

Glis Glis dos and don’ts

Do

Do keep a note of where you are hearing noise or seeing activity
Do look out for signs such as scratching at night, droppings, gnawing damage and nesting in loft spaces
Do arrange a professional inspection if you suspect Glis glis are present
Do ask about proofing and exclusion work once the problem has been properly assessed
Do keep the affected area as undisturbed as possible until advice has been given

Don’t

Don’t try to trap Glis glis yourself unless you are properly licensed to do so
Don’t release any captured animals
Don’t block entry points too early, as this can trap animals inside or cause further damage elsewhere in the property
Don’t disturb nesting areas unnecessarily
Don’t assume the problem will resolve on its own if night-time activity continues

Professional treatment is the safest and most effective way to deal with Glis Glis.

Where Glis Glis are commonly found

In Tring properties, Glis glis are most commonly associated with lofts, attics, roof spaces, wall cavities, eaves and other sheltered upper parts of buildings.

They are agile climbers and are often linked to access routes involving trees, vegetation, soffits and roof gaps around houses close to woodland or mature gardens.

The species is also known to use occupied houses, which is one reason infestations can become so disruptive for residents.

Glis Glis problems in Tring and surrounding areas

The edible dormouse was introduced near Tring in 1902, and today the British population remains largely concentrated in the Chilterns and adjacent woodland around the area. That makes local knowledge especially important when it comes to recognising likely access points, understanding behaviour and planning sensible proofing once control work is complete.

Glis glis problems often become especially noticeable when there is increased night-time activity in lofts and roof spaces. They usually hibernate from about November to May, then reappear in late spring and summer, while colder weather can drive them to seek shelter inside properties.
