Typical signs

These signs point to an infestation. On the phone, we help you assess what you have found.

Photo: Martens
  • Thumping at night

    Loud running and scratching noises in the loft or ceiling void, especially in spring and early summer.

  • Churned-up insulation

    Torn insulation wool, prey remains and a strong smell under the roof.

  • Droppings in fixed spots

    Sausage-shaped droppings, often containing hair, feathers or seeds, keep appearing in the same spots in the loft or on the roof.

  • Signs on the car

    Chewed ignition cables or radiator hoses and paw prints on the bonnet.

Useful facts about martens

Stone martens often live very close to people. In the loft they find peace and warmth, and in the engine compartment of parked cars a sheltered hiding place.

A marten climbs skilfully up downpipes, façades and overhanging branches and squeezes through surprisingly small gaps under roof tiles. Once it has found a spot, it defends it against other martens and keeps coming back to it.

Because martens are wild animals, this is not about pest control but about deterrence: driving the animal out, finding the entry points and securing them so that it does not come back. Doing things in the right order matters, so that no animal is shut in under the roof.

How it works

From your call onwards, we take over – step by step.

  1. You call us

    You describe the noises, signs and damage. We clarify whether it is a marten and where it is probably getting in.

  2. Inspection of roof and façade

    The specialist looks for entry points at the roof edge, ventilation openings, downpipes and chimneys and checks whether the loft is occupied.

  3. Deterring and securing

    The marten is driven out using suitable means. Once it is safely outside, the entry points are sealed or secured with deterrent grilles.

What you’ll want to know before calling

Honest answers to the questions almost everyone asks. We are happy to clarify anything else in person.

What does it cost?

Our prices are transparent and fair. Give us a call – we will discuss your situation and the next steps.

Is it safe for children and pets?

Martens are driven out, not killed. You are told in advance which means are used and what to look out for with children and pets.

Will it stay discreet?

Yes. We arrive in neutral, unmarked vehicles and make sure your case is handled discreetly, so that outsiders notice nothing of the infestation.

How long does it take?

One appointment is often enough for the inspection and deterrence. Sealing follows as soon as the marten has definitely gone.

Questions about martens

Your question isn’t listed?
Ask us directly: 043 508 75 29

Is it allowed to kill martens?

No, not just like that. Martens are wild animals and are covered by hunting law. The solution is to drive them out and secure the house.

When is the marten most active?

Martens are nocturnal. In spring, the females often raise their young under the roof. During this time, deterrence requires particular care.

Why does the marten chew cables in the car?

It often smells the scent mark of another marten in the engine compartment and reacts to it. In doing so, it bites into cables, hoses and insulation mats.

Does insurance cover marten damage?

That depends on your policy. Your insurer can give you exact information.
