Squirrels are fond of gnawing on any hard items due to the growth of their teeth that never stops. Unfortunately for you, this will include your wooden roof structures like beams or rafters. They also chew through all sorts of wires, including electrical causing you fires, and short-circuiting water pipes are another common material they chew into, causing water damage to your household goods.

What does a grey squirrel look like

Squirrels are small rodents that have reddish-brown fur. They typically weigh around 500 to 800 grams and measure about 40 centimetres in length. Squirrels have large ears and sharp teeth, and they use their claws to climb trees. Squirrels can be told apart from other rodents by their bushy tails, which always have four dark stripes on them.

Squirrels are common in the UK and can be found in wooded areas, parks, and gardens. Their diets include nuts, seeds, fruits, and insects. Unfortunately, squirrels also steal food from birds' nests and damage property.

What do they cost the economy each year?

Squirrels cost the UK economy 50 million pounds per year. They damage property and crops, and they also eat birds' eggs. A squirrel's most active time is in the morning and evening, when they leave their nests searching for food. However, they also damage trees to the point of death or deformation, resulting in damage to the ecosystem.

What forms of communication do they use?

Squirrels can communicate with other squirrels by chattering. They use vocal sounds like all animals and when they chatter their teeth against each other to create noises or vibrations. This is also how they keep in contact within trees, as high as 10 miles away from one another!
