Are squirrels causing you problems?

Squirrels are not good to have around the home. They must be dealt with early. They were introduced in the Victorian era, and since then, it has become evident how invasive they can be with populations from a few hundred to a few million. Viruses are spread by squirrels, and they are invasive. The intruders will cause major damage, especially to the rafters and beams, weakening their structure.

Squirrels can enter through any opening at least as wide as its body width (usually about six inches), including open vents, broken soffits or eaves troughs, open windows or doorways, screens with holes, and pet doors that are left open by mistake. They can also access buildings via loose bricks on ledges of roofs; when none of these is available, they will look to chew into your roof and make an opening before they leave holes in your roof for water to come in. Speak to Little Hulton Squirrel Trapping so our experts can best advise you on squirrel control measures.

Upon entering your home, they will chew on all sorts of things like aircon piping, water pipes, ethernet cables, and more predominantly electrical wiring causing fires and loss of your valuables and property.

This pest will nest in a range of places, from deckings to outbuildings to floorboards, and you really shouldn't mark any area of the list. They will use any space available to them. That is why we recommend calling professionals like Little Hulton Squirrel Pest Control early.

Squirrel facts

The tail is about 3-4 inches. A female is smaller than a male, which is why they can get aggressive if they feel threatened in their territory. They will also move as quickly as possible to avoid predators like hunters or dogs. However, when there's no other option, they use their tails for defence by rotating them furiously, which provides a distraction while the squirrel escapes.

They make nests inside of fallen trees, rock heaps, and even birdhouses so that they have plenty of material nearby to build with when they're ready to settle down and start building their own home. Unfortunately, this tendency has made them particularly susceptible to destructive logging practices where large areas are cut without considering how this diminishes natural habitats for grey squirrels - resulting in fewer available nesting spots near food.

A grey squirrel breeds about two times each year, typically in February and May: an average pregnancy lasts about 44 days, and the young are born hairless and blind. They weigh about 1/10 of an ounce at birth, and they're weaned at around eight weeks old. Squirrels can start breeding at around ten months old.

The squirrels communicate by different sounds with each other. Among the sounds they make are chirps, barks, and growls. These sounds help them warn others of danger, find food, and mark their territory. The grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is a common sight in the United Kingdom, and it's easy to see why they're so popular. These cute little critters are playful, engaging, and have a personality that's hard not to love. Grey squirrels can be found in most of the continent.

One of the things that makes grey squirrels so interesting is their tails. The tail is about 3-4 inches long, and it's bushy with a black stripe down the middle. The males are larger than the females.

There may be a temptation to take care of a squirrel infestation on your own using do-it-yourself products from the hardware store, but this is almost always a mistake. Not only are these products often ineffective against squirrels, but they can also be dangerous if used incorrectly. In fact, attempting to deal with an invasive species like squirrels without professional help can lead to even more damage as the pests continue to multiply and spread. That's why it's so important to choose an expert like Little Hulton Squirrel Pest Control, who knows what's best for getting rid of squirrels quickly and safely. Little Hulton squirrel trapping is highly recommended for tasks like these.
