It’s a well-known fact that grey squirrels are the bane of any gardener. They eat all your plants, dig up your lawn and make a mess in general. This is understandable. But it turns out there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to these cute little creatures because they can do some severe damage when they get into your home.

What do they do?
Squirrels can cause extensive damage to gardens and inside homes. They will eat the buds off of trees and shrubs, dig up bulbs and flowers, and chew through wires, siding, and roofing. Squirrels will dig up lawns for grubs and insects from the outside, digging holes as deep as two feet to get at this food. They may also gnaw on hardwood trees, decking, railings and furniture. In addition, squirrels can be insufferable nuisances where they take up residence – chewing through wires that could lead to a fire break out and disease-ridden leaving droppings throughout the house.

How do they enter?
Squirrels can enter a home in various ways. One way is through the roof. They can also enter through the attic, which often has easy access to the ceiling. They can also enter through chimneys, windows, and doors. Finally, they will gnaw their way through the weakest spots on your roof, which is usually at the valley at the top. This will lead to holes in your roof that will allow water to seep in when it rains, causing excessive dampness to your property and belongings.
Nests
Grey squirrels typically build their nests in tree cavities. However, they will also take residence in attics, garages, lofts, wall insulations and sheds. Nests are usually made of leaves, twigs, and shredded bark.
Why your property?
Squirrels are often drawn to yards and gardens with many trees, bushes, and other cover and safety from predators. They may also be attracted to food sources such as bird feeders or gardens with many fruits and nuts.
Breeding pattern
A grey squirrel breeds twice a year, once in early spring and again in late summer in the months of June and August. A female grey squirrel will have between four to six young in one litter in the UK but can have up to eight depending on food sources and habitat availability. These babies are born blind and without hair. They usually open their eyes after approximately 25 days and grow fur at about three weeks of age. After five or six months, they are fully mature, and after ten months, they are able to reproduce and breed.
Grey squirrels are easily identifiable by their characteristic colouring. They are typically smaller have large ears and a long tail. They also have prominent teeth which are used for gnawing on tree bark. Grey squirrels can cause significant damage to property.
