Squirrels are the second most invasive species in the United Kingdom. They were listed as such in 1981 due to the havoc they create and the destruction they leave behind. These creatures will get in through the rooftop or any open places on the exterior. If none are available, they will use their sharp teeth to gnaw into the roof to get in. 

Upon entry, they will start to make a DREY, the formal name for a squirrel's nest. They will use various materials for this. You should keep in mind that squirrels have the tendency to bite into insulated cables. This can cause things like CCTV, alarms, and electrical wires, leading to many different issues. The most dramatic of them are fires.

Squirrels commonly live in trees on the forks of branches in crevices of rocks and in the eaves.

Following are a few interesting facts about squirrels.

Grey squirrels can be found in deciduous and mixed forests across much of the United Kingdom. They are medium-sized, with grey fur, white underparts, and reddish-brown ears. There is a long tail and black eyes. The tails of males are about twice as long as those of females. Grey squirrels have 32 teeth - 16 on the top and 16 on the bottom. They feed mainly on nuts, seeds, and fruits.

Different squirrels use different communication methods to communicate with each other. They use vocalizations, scent-marking, and body language to communicate what they want or need. Squirrels are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk.

Grey squirrels are known to strip bark from trees in search of tree sap, which may stunt or even kill a tree. This can have a negative impact on the ecosystem and contribute to deforestation.

Grey squirrels can carry a number of diseases, including salmonella, which they can pass on to other animals or humans. Droppings and saliva can contaminate food and cause illnesses.

The Dangers of DIY Squirrel Control Products

 It's tempting to try to tackle a squirrel infestation by yourself with over-the-counter products, but this is not advisable for two reasons. First, these products may not effectively get rid of the squirrels, and second, they can be dangerous if misused.

-Many over-the-counter squirrel control products contain harmful chemicals that can be toxic to both people and animals.

-These products can also be flammable, so they pose a fire risk if used near electrical wiring or other sources of heat.
