Are squirrels infesting your home?

Squirrels come in a variety of forms that people may encounter. These include the Eastern Grey Squirrel and Western Grey Squirrel, which are most common. Some squirrels are more common than others, but all can cause problems if they enter your home or office.

Squirrels are an invasive species. They were brought into the United Kingdom in the latter part of the 19th century, and by 1981 they had been deemed vermin due to their destructive nature and the damage to property they caused. For example, they will use almost any opening in the exterior of the house to get in. Once there isn't one, they will use the chimney to get inside. If these aren't available to them, they will gnaw into the compromised areas of the roof, making holes in the process and leaving openings so water can come through. 

This is not the only issue they bring with them as they will also chew on all sorts of cables causing anything from internet outages to fires due to the electrical wires they will nibble on.

Squirrel facts

The Grey Squirrel is a small animal that lives in groups of 10-scurry. This breed is also known as the tree rat. They are about 12 inches long, with a tail about 8 inches long, and weigh around 1-pound or less. The grey squirrel has brown and black fur, with white ear tufts on either side of its head (also called "fur ears").

A female can be told apart from the male by her dainty nose and short bushy tail, whereas males have long whiskers and large drooping tales that can reach up to 16 inches! Sometimes females will gather their tails into one large bunch for warmth during cold winter months or when carrying kittens or nursing babies.

Squirrels will also take advantage of man-made structures to build their nests. This can include buildings, garages, and other similar places. They will also build their nests in trees, usually choosing a location close to a food source.

Squirrels can transmit several diseases to humans, including rabies, the plague, and tularemia. They can spread these diseases through their saliva, urine, or faeces. Furthermore, their droppings and fur can contaminate food.

Squirrels typically eat nuts, fruits, and seeds. However, they will also consume other items such as insects, bird eggs, and carrion.

What is caching?

Caching is the process of storing food for future use. Squirrels will cache food in various locations, such as trees, buildings, or underground.
