In addition, if you suspect that squirrels have gained entry or caused damage, we are on hand to solve any Widnes grey squirrel control problems you may have.

UK species of squirrel

There are two species of squirrel found in the UK: the red squirrel and the eastern grey squirrel. The eastern grey squirrel is not native to the UK. Still, since its introduction in the early 20th century, it has out-competed the native red squirrel and increased in numbers considerably.

This population increase has forced some squirrels to look elsewhere for nesting places rather than the usual abandoned bird’s nests, and tree hollows often occupied. The roofs and lofts of people’s houses have provided the ideal compromise for these animals, giving space and warmth to either store food or raise young.
