Suppose you have ever had the unfortunate experience of dealing with grey squirrels. In that case, you know just how destructive they can be. These creatures are relentless in their pursuit of food, and they will go to great lengths to get what they want. So not only are they a nuisance, but they can also cause much damage to your property. This article will discuss the damaging effects that grey squirrels can have on your home or business. Moreover, we will provide tips on how to permanently eliminate these pests!

Squirrels can damage your property in a number of ways. One way is that they can chew on power lines and electric wires, creating a fire hazard. They can also damage trees and other plants by eating the buds and leaves. They gnaw through walls and concrete, which can decrease your insulation. Their gnawing and scratching can also damage and weaken wood structures. They can even damage fascia and roofs by chewing holes in them. Contacting Winstanley Squirrel Pest Control for professional assistance in squirrel control is essential.

Invasive species such as grey squirrels compete with native squirrels for resources such as food and space. Unfortunately, they also carry diseases that they spread through contact with other wildlife, humans and pets. Some of these diseases include bacterial infections like leptospirosis (which has symptoms including fever) and plague (also known as syphilis) 

One of the main reasons grey squirrels are attracted to your property is the available food. These animals are opportunistic feeders, meaning they will eat anything available to them. They will also take advantage of any food left out or stored on your property.

In addition to food, grey squirrels are also attracted to areas that provide them with shelter and protection. They will seek out places like attics, garages, and sheds to hide from predators and get away from the elements. If you have heard any scurrying in these areas on your property, then you are likely to have a problem with grey squirrels.

Squirrels will eat anything available to them, including:

- Seeds

- Nuts

- Berries

- Birdseed

- Insects

- Worms

- Fruits

- Vegetables

Bird eggs and baby birds have even been known to be eaten by them if given a chance.

When grey squirrels look for food, they will chew into packages to get to the contents inside. This is not only extremely frustrating for homeowners that have recently bought groceries or supplies but can also cause a mess both inside and outside of your home. Some households have even reported finding grey squirrels digging in their garbage bins, searching for food. There is likely easy access to food on your property if squirrels are a problem in your home or business. Getting rid of squirrels with Winstanley Squirrel Trapping is the only way to safely and effectively handle the situation.
