Professional Squirrel Control In Leigh

While all squirrels can spread disease through their droppings, the grey squirrel is more likely to be seen in and around human settlements. Leigh grey squirrel control is needed when they get into homes, attics and crawlspaces to wreak havoc. They have been known to damage all parts of the home and can even be responsible for fires as they chew through electric cables.

Red squirrels are more likely to be reclusive as their population was always limited. Therefore they are more likely to be found in and around wooded areas and will not be subject to Leigh grey squirrel control.

What the Virus Looks Like

When a squirrel is affected by the Squirrelpox virus, it will usually die in less than two weeks. If you see dead squirrels in your area with a discharge from the nose and eyes, then it has probably died from this virus. The grey squirrels can fight this disease but the red ones do not have the right immune system to do so. It is important to report outbreaks and to contact us at Young’s Pest Control if you see this virus in your area.

Leigh grey squirrel control is necessary to keep this sickness from spreading farther around the UK and to give the native red squirrels the opportunity to improve their prospects and perhaps make a return. Otherwise, they could be extinct within 15-20 years.
