A squirrel invasion is a terrible news for your home.
Have you woken up late in the night to the sound of rattling or scurrying in your roof? This could likely be a squirrel. After their introduction in 1870 from their native home, America and Canada, squirrels have quickly established themselves as the second most invasive species across Britain. What started as a few hundred now account for a couple of million.
They are so invasive that they now pose a grave threat to the native species causing their numbers to subside. Clifton Squirrel Trapping advises our clients to act on the first sighting to ensure you don’t have a bigger problem later on.

Squirrel Trapping in Clifton
Squirrels use their front teeth as a method to gnaw into fragile parts of your roof, exposing these areas to water due to the holes they make. Water damage alone should e enough for you to want them off your land. Inside your property, they will use any quiet corner to build their home and will use materials such as wood, plastic, cloth and paper to do this. They often strip the wooden support structures in your home, making them much weaker, resulting in possible collapse. They also chew through insulated wires, causing internet loss, CCTV damage, or even disconnecting your phone lines. Due to the reasons listed above, among others, in 1981, they were classed as vermin that need to e eliminated, and that’s where Clifton Squirrel Pest Control comes in.
In the wild, they nest in crevices between rocks in the fork of tree ranches using twigs and leaves to make their home indoors; they will nest in garages, sheds, outbuildings, crawlspace, floorboards. The list is endless, and you should assume they can nest in any unused corner.
listed below are a few things you should know about this vermin
The grey squirrel is a medium-sized rodent that is found in deciduous forests throughout North America. They have soft, grey fur and black ears. The underside of their bodies is white, and they have a long tails. Grey squirrels are typically 12-18 inches in length and weigh 1-2 pounds. They chew through tree bark using their sharp incisors to get to the sap inside. Grey squirrels are typically monogamous, and the females are slightly larger than the males.
The squirrels use a variety of vocalizations to communicate with one another. They have a wide range of sounds that they use for different purposes, such as warning other squirrels of danger, announcing their presence, or mating. They also use scent markings to leave messages for other squirrels.
The squirrels cost the UK economy 50 million per year by damaging trees by stripping the bark of trees, making them weaker and susceptible to diseases. Most commonly, they die or have deformed growth. They also cause significant property damage, as mentioned above. They also consume a lot of food, which increases the cost of grocery bills for UK residents due to these pests contaminating food.
Getting rid of squirrels requires you to make sure you’re choosing the right company. The problem is often attempted with DIY methods, but this rarely works and can lead to further damage. Instead, it’s important to choose a reputable pest control company that has experience dealing with squirrel infestations.
