Are squirrels giving you a hard time?

Squirrels, native to America and Canada, were brought to the United Kingdom in 1870. They have quickly established themselves as the number 2 most invasive species and now pose a threat to native species. They wreak havoc and can leave you with a home full of damages if they are not eradicated early. They are so invasive that in 1981 they were deemed vermin, and that means when you notice a squirrel, you need to act fast to avoid costly repairs. Your best choice would be to call our 24 hour Bryn Squirrel Trapping.

These pests will come into your home and gnaw on a grocery list of items. They will do this for nest building and due to their need to file their continuously growing teeth. Squirrels are known for chewing on wood and plastics, plumbing pipes and even concrete at times. This leaves your cavity wall insulation vulnerable to them along with your electrical wires, which can start fires and have your home reduced to ashes. Squirrels even increase your electric bill since they live between cavity wall insulation, making your insulation not as effective in turn making the cavity walling less effective. Bryn Squirrel Pest Control can assist if you ring us as soon as you see a squirrel. Leave squirrels unattended and they will reproduce further.

They can often be found in the quietest places around the home. Their favourites include lofts, outbuildings, between decking and sheds. However, they are advised that this is just a guide, and they can nest anywhere around your home with little effort. To educate you about these vermin, we have given a few interesting points about them that may prove useful.

What do they look like

Grey squirrels are bright, bushy-tailed members of the rodent family. They typically sport this cheery winter coat in October and November to keep warm during the shoulder seasons, but they light up again in late January while they're hibernating. Grey squirrels are flashier than regular grey ones due to that extra dash of colour. In addition, their ears have tufts at their tops, and their tails often curl over their back for better balance when running about on tree limbs or high wire structures like power lines or telephone wires.

Grey squirrels, which grow from 6 to 12 inches long, weigh one lb/0.5kg on average. (That's big for a mouse!) These furry creatures come with one pair of whisks.

How do they communicate?

Scientists scanned the brains of grey squirrels that were being startled by recordings of angry-sounding human shouts. The study found that when a squirrel encountered a threat, its brain sent out messages to its muscles, telling them to get ready for a fight or flight response. In addition, scientists' research shows that communication among squirrels is likely audible and non-audible.

How do they affect tree growth?

One of the negative impacts that grey squirrels have on their ecosystem is their tendency to strip trees of their bark in search of sap. This can stunt the growth of trees or even kill them.

Breeding cycle

Grey squirrels breed twice a year, typically in February and May. A litter of three to five young is born about six weeks after mating. The young are weaned at eight weeks old and reach sexual maturity at 10 to 12 months old.
