Yes, those cute little creatures that seem so harmless can do a lot of damage to your plants and property. Usually, they find their way into your house, mostly through your roof. They will pick out weak spots and even chew through them to get in. Once inside, they will start to make a comfortable living space by chewing on wood and plastics to use in constructing their drey, the damages they can cause while doing this is unimaginable. They can weaken structures by eating into them. They also chew into electrical wirings, causing fires.

These pests are also known carriers of certain diseases. They transmit this through their droppings, leading to sickness or even death.

• Leptospirosis. 
• Lyme Disease.
• Salmonellosis. 
• Tularemia. 
• Rabies.

They are commonly found in urban areas, and they like to nest. In trees, but once you spot them, it won't take long for them to enter your home as it provides perfect cover from their natural predators like foxes and hawks. Squirrels are common throughout the United Kingdom. They can be found almost anywhere that is wooded, as well as in neighbourhood gardens and many other areas where food is abundant such as bird feeders, garbage cans, etc. Getting rid of squirrels is easy when you choose Youngs Pest Control.

A squirrel's breeding season is in the winter months, from December to February. This is when the female squirrel will be ready to mate and have babies. The male squirrel will start to look for a mate during this time and will start to mark his territory with urine. The male and female squirrels are likely to chase each other around your garden during the mating season.

Squirrels create a nest for their babies in the hollow of a tree. Or within the home itself, and once they have created this, they can produce up to 6 young in one go. When these little ones are born, they will be blind and hairless and will not be able to survive on their own until they are around ten weeks old, and then they will leave the nest and live independently.

It is very common for a mother squirrel to die shortly after giving birth, leaving her young abandoned. Without adult supervision, the babies will wander away from the nest and can often succumb to predators such as birds. On the other hand, a mother squirrel can destroy a bird's nest in search of food and often eat the bird's eggs and very young babies that she may sometimes use to feed her young brood.
