Are squirrels causing you problems?

It’s no secret that squirrels can be a nuisance. They’re known for their habit of raiding bird feeders and chewing through wiring, insulation, and other materials to build their nests. While many people deal with the occasional sighting or scolding from a neighbour, others are looking for more permanent solutions. If you’re one of those people, consider professional Higher Blackley Squirrel Pest Control.

Squirrels were brought onto British soil by scientific researchers who wanted to study them. Since the few dozen that came in initially, they now range in the millions. This is predominantly due to the abundance of food, and the lack of natural predators makes Britain the perfect home for these creatures. However, we always urge our clients to ring Higher Blackley Squirrel Trapping as soon as they notice signs of squirrels, as getting rid of squirrels is a daunting task that professionals should carry out.

Squirrels usually gain access through any openings around the exterior of the home. When there are none available, they will try for a chimney, and if that isn’t available, they will chew through the roof to gain access. This leaves your home vulnerable to water coming through, which can lead to dampness, electrical shorts and rot in certain areas depending on the structure of your home. Once they get into your home, they will chew on almost anything to build their nest. This will include insulated wires and wooden support structures leading to fires and the potential collapse of structures.

Pointers about grey squirrels

Grey squirrels are indigenous to North America, although they are also living in Asia and Europe. These cute woodland creatures range from 12-18 inches in length with a tail that can be 3 to 5 inches long. They have brown eyes because their eye colour mimics the husks of nuts on the forest floor where they forage for food as well as avoid detection by predators.

Each individual has 18 teeth and ten dorsals, meaning there is no size difference between males and females, which have 61 teeth total. In addition to having longer tails than most rodents (~6-10 inches), the grey squirrel’s fur will vary depending on the habitat it lives within – for example, shades of brown or red are found close to forests.

Squirrels use communication to share information about food sources, warn against possible dangers, find mates, and state their position in the social hierarchy, for example, by making alarm calls during territorial disputes to warn other members of the species and deter intruders. A drey is a squirrel’s home. It is a small, round, spindly structure that is generally built in a high tree. The drey is made of twigs, moss, leaves, and other materials that the squirrel can find.

Squirrels typically eat a variety of things, depending on the season. They will eat insects, nuts, fruits, and seeds. They will also cache (store) food in order to have a supply for later.

The gestation period for a squirrel is around 44 days. After that, they give birth to altricial young, which means they are born hairless, blind, and relatively helpless. The young leave the nest at about eight weeks old and can start breeding at around six months old.

Squirrel infestations can cause much damage in a short amount of time, so it’s essential that you handle the problem as soon as possible. If you don’t have any experience dealing with squirrels or other pests, it is best to call in the experts. Higher Blackley Squirrel Pest Control has extensive knowledge of squirrel control and will eliminate the problem fast and efficiently. Don’t try to take on this job yourself – you could end up making the situation worse. Instead, contact Higher Blackley Squirrel Trapping today for all your pest control needs!

How Weather Affects Squirrels In Higher Blackley

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.
