Are squirrels causing you problems?
Squirrels are a menace. They are invasive and destructive, transmitting diseases and gnawing through everything from our telephone wires to the beams in our homes. And they’re all over the place! They number more than 2 million nationwide.
Squirrels were introduced to England as early as 1891, and since then, they have gone on to become the second most invasive species known to Great Britain.
Unfortunately, it won’t take them long to do the same for your home. However, this can be a worry of the past if you act immediately upon noticing them and speak to Haigh Squirrel Trapping for a custom-made Squirrel Control treatment plan.
Squirrels will try to use any open entry point for access. If there is none available, they will put their sharp and continuously growing teeth to good use by gnawing into your roof for a spot to get in. This will make vulnerable spots prone to water seeping in. This on its own brings a lot of issues.
Squirrels are known for their destruction inside and outside, and this is well-substantiated as they will go through your home insulated wires, causing loss of network and, in some cases, fire if they get to your electrical cables. Therefore, getting rid of squirrels early on is the key to avoiding an infestation.
Squirrels are found in many places across the household. From years of experience, we have found they prefer areas like sheds, cavities in your roof spaces, and your cavity wall insulation. Once they get in there, any spots they nest in will be less effective and in return, drive up your electric bill. To avoid this call Haigh Squirrel Pest Control.

Some information provided for help understanding this vermin
The grey squirrels in England are on average between 12 and 18 inches long, which includes half an inch of the tail. Females are on average lighter than males and tend to be about one-half inch smaller in length than males. Female grey squirrels typically weigh about 28 ounces, but females can vary quite a bit more than male grey squirrels do: the animals can weigh as little as 14 oz or grow up to 34 oz.
In February and August, grey squirrels breed. Gestation lasts for about 44 days. The young are born hairless and with closed eyes. They weigh about 1/4 ounces at birth. Weaned between 10 and 12 weeks old and reached sexual maturity at six months old. Grey squirrels live in a variety of habitats, including coniferous and deciduous forests, parks, gardens, and even in urban areas. They consume a variety of food, including acorns, hickory nuts, seeds, berries, insects, and other small animals.
The squirrels in England cost the UK economy 50 million per year due to the damage they cause to property and agriculture. In addition, the squirrels spread diseases to humans and other animals.
Squirrels can spread a variety of diseases, including plague, tularemia, and salmonella. They can spread these diseases through contact with their saliva, urine, or faeces. They can also contaminate food with their saliva or faeces.
As mentioned earlier, squirrels are a very common pest in the UK. They can be incredibly destructive and often cause extensive damage to homes and businesses. If you have a squirrel infestation, it is important to take action right away as they breed rapidly, and the problem will only get worse over time. This is where hiring an expert like Haigh Squirrel Pest Control comes in handy.

How Weather Affects Squirrels In Haigh
Seasonal changes often push squirrels closer to homes. Cold weather encourages nesting in lofts or attics for warmth, while spring and summer increase activity as they forage and breed. Recognizing how climate shifts impact squirrels helps ensure timely trapping before they cause structural or electrical damage.
