Are Squirrels Causing You Problems

Imagine you have encountered the unfortunate situation of dealing with squirrels. In that case, you know just how much of a disaster they can be. These little creatures can cause extensive damage to crops, trees, and property, and they usually find an entrance through weak spots on your roof. They will further damage these spots when trying to get in, leaving an opening in your roof so when it rains, you have trouble on your hands. Upon making an entry into your home, they will immediately look to set up a drey (their home) and will, unfortunately, use materials such as wood and other materials that are available to them. This often results in weakened infrastructure when they nibble on beams in your attic or loft; aside from that, and they spread diseases which include:

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

Squirrels have been deemed as vermin since 1981, after the British Pest Act was passed. Therefore, they are known as pests, which means Squirrel control has become popular in residential areas due to this legislation. Squirrels can be trapped because of their inquisitive nature, which makes them not so wary of danger. As a pest control company, we have seen them make their homes in many places that often include blockages in the attic, loft, between roofs and eaves, fascia boards and trees. This does not limit them to these spaces as they can find any place as long as it's away from predators such as foxes, dogs, hawks, and even cats at times. So as you can imagine, it's imperative to act quickly once you notice them because they are an invasive species and leaving them will only allow more time for reproduction. So don't delay give Youngs Squirrel Control a shout.

A squirrel's breeding cycle usually starts in late winter and early spring. When a female becomes pregnant, she gives birth to 2-6 young ones. The babies will stay with the mother, until they are able to fend for themselves, which is usually around 8-10 weeks old. During this time period, the mother squirrel will teach them how to find food and shelter. Once they are ready to leave their parents' site, they disperse into the neighbourhood, where you may then notice them digging in your garden looking for grubs and other insects that can be used as a food source until winter comes around again.

Squirrels usually eat a variety of things, depending on what is available to them. Insects, nuts, seeds, fruits, and bird eggs are some of the foods they eat. In addition, squirrels are known to be great climbers, jumping from tree branches onto roofs. When squirrels find their way into your home or business, Youngs Pest Control can help trap them, so you have less of a problem with them in the future.
