They are especially dangerous when they start gnawing on electrical wires, causing short-circuiting and fires that could result in your home being burnt to ash.

These creatures were first introduced in the early 1890s, and it took them less than a century to demonstrate their invasive traits. Now they range in the millions from just a couple of dozens, resulting in them being classified as vermin needing immediate elimination. Unfortunately, as much as wildlife conservatives have tried, they have failed miserably, with their populations keeping rising each year. Heyrod Squirrel Trapping advises you to react the minute you notice a squirrel. Leaving them unattended will result in more reproduction.

If you have a squirrel problem, it is important to take action and get rid of them before they cause damage.

Useful points regarding squirrels

They have small ears and powerful jaws, as well as sharp teeth. Male grey squirrels are usually just a bit larger than females, and both sexes have bushy tails. In the wild, grey squirrels are capable of living up to six years.

A drey is typically a small, round, woven nest of twigs and leaves built high in a tree by a squirrel. Squirrels use dreys for shelter and to raise their young. A squirrel will usually have one or more dreys in its territory.
