Professional Ashton-in-Makerfield Grey Squirrel Control

Grey squirrel as a pest

The grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) was introduced into the UK from North America. It has almost entirely displaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) and is classed as a pest. Apart from making life difficult for the red squirrel, the grey squirrel is becoming a nuisance for humans.

Though they are usually found in woodland and parks, many are moving into urban areas as their numbers keep growing, making Ashton-in-Makerfield grey squirrel control often necessary.

These furry intruders can inhabit and raise their young in outbuildings, roof spaces, lofts, and attics. In addition, they may cause considerable damage to buildings and gardens as they forage for food and search for nesting materials.

Problems with the grey squirrels

Grey squirrels can be more harmful than rats and much more challenging to get rid of. Cute as they may be, some of the problems that they can cause include:

– damage to roof spaces (timber, insulation, electric cables, water pipes, etc.)
– can pass parasites (fleas) to pets
– steal bird food and damage feeders
– dig out newly planted flower seeds and bulbs
– damage saplings and mature trees
– attack and bite people if feeling threatened

A hazardous situation may be caused by squirrels gnawing at electric cables – this is a common cause of house fires. They can also cause severe damage to roof timbers, potentially weakening roof joists to the extent that collapse happens. The longer the squirrels are left to carry on, the higher the risks and the potential costs of repairing the damage. Suppose you suspect that there are squirrels in your roof space. In that case, it’s strongly recommended that you contact professionals at Young’s Pest Control who can accurately assess the problem and deal with the Ashton-in-Makerfield grey squirrel control effectively.
