Are Squirrels Causing You Problems

Many animals can cause damage to your property and make your life difficult. Unfortunately, one of the most common grey squirrels is a pest for homeowners all across the United Kingdom. With their large population and high reproductive rates, grey squirrels have been wreaking havoc in gardens and homes everywhere. Saddleworth Squirrel Trapping are the experts to get in touch with to help you get rid of squirrels.

The damage caused by grey squirrels

The damages that grey squirrels cause to the outside and inside of your home can be very costly and time-consuming. Grey squirrels are known to gnaw on wires, which can cause a fire hazard, and they can also damage rooflines, eaves, and siding with their sharp teeth. In addition, grey squirrels can contaminate food supplies with their droppings and urine. They can also carry diseases that can be harmful to humans and pets. The damages they cause outside your home are also costly and time-consuming due to their chewing of wires, causing possible electrical outages. Finally, for those with fruit trees on their property, grey squirrels will dig holes and destroy the roots of your trees, meaning that they will often die.

Suppose you have grey squirrels on your property. In that case, it is vital to contact a professional wildlife removal service like Saddleworth Squirrel Pest Control. We can get rid of grey squirrels from your property, and we can also help you prevent them from coming back.

How do they enter your property, and where do they nest

Squirrels can enter your home in various ways, but the most common way is through the roof. They can also get in through chimneys, vents, and cracks in the walls or ceiling. Squirrels are very agile and can fit through small openings. Nests will be built in a variety of places, such as attics, cavity walls, and floor voids, to name a few. They make their nests out of any type of material they can find, like straw, twigs and leaves. They may also make use of the insulation found in walls and roof voids or any furniture inside your homes, like beds and chairs.

Why do squirrels enter your home?

There are a few things that can attract squirrels to your property. One of the most common reasons is that they're looking for a place to build a nest. They may also be attracted to your property if there's a lot of food available, such as in the case of bird feeders. Finally, they may be drawn to your property if there's shelter available, such as in the form of trees or other structures. Squirrels will eat different things, depending on their location and the time of year. They mainly eat nuts and seeds, but they also eat insects, fruit, and bark. Saddleworth Squirrel Trapping is therefore crucial in getting rid of these pests.

What do Grey Squirrels look like

The grey squirrels are usually about 20 inches in length and can weigh up to 2 pounds. They are generally grey or light brown in colour but can also be black. They have small ears and a bushy tail. They have two types of teeth- incisors and molars. The incisors are used for gnawing on objects, while the molars are used for chewing food. Male grey squirrels are usually larger than female squirrels.

This is where hiring an expert from Saddleworth Squirrel Pest Control comes in – someone who knows how to properly get rid of the squirrels and keep them from coming back.
