Astley Bridge Grey Squirrel Trapping
Do you know that squirrels can cause a lot of damage? They are considered pests for a reason! They spread diseases, as well as damage crops, trees and property. So let’s look at how they affect us.
They spread diseases like tularemia, typhus, plague, ringworms, squirrel pox, leptospirosis, and salmonella.
They strip the bark of trees, damaging their growth and killing the tree. They usually strip to the bark to get to the tree sap, but they will also strip to get at the insects in the bark.
Squirrels damage property with their teeth that never stop growing and claws which can cause thousands of pounds of damage. This often occurs in your loft or attic and even home insulation. Once a squirrel is in your home, it will chew through wooden beams to build its nest. In addition, they will often chew through internet cables, alarm wires, telephone lines, and the worst of them, all electrical wiring. This will cause sparks and often lead to fires making Squirrel eradication imperative if you want some Squirrel Control around your home.
