Damages Caused by Grey Squirrels

Grey squirrels love to chew on things; they’ll gnaw through your house or garden fence to get into your property or chew on your trees and plants. Grey squirrels are also very destructive, which is why they’re considered an invasive species in the UK. As a homeowner with squirrels on your property, it is essential to know and be wary of the fire hazard these little critters can cause. Grey squirrels love to chew on things, including electrical wires! This can cause sparks and fires and damage a lot of your belongings.

Squirrels like to nest in tall trees, but they can also build nests in attics, garages, and other out-of-the-way places. Once they start nesting in your home, you can expect excessive damages from their need to continuously gnaw and chew on almost anything.

If you have a squirrel infestation, there are sure signs you can look for to determine if you have a problem. Some of these signs include:

  • – Seeing squirrels running around your property
  • – Hearing squirrels making noise in your attic or walls
  • – Finding evidence of squirrels chewing on wires or other property
  • – Finding excessive wood chippings in or around a specific area, usually rafters or beams 

Whenever you see any of these signs, it is vital to contact a professional company like Woodford Grey Squirrel Trapping to help get rid of squirrels from your property.

In the United Kingdom, grey squirrels are one of the most common types of squirrel. Deciduous forests and mixed forests are ideal habitats, as well as in urban areas. Squirrels are tree-dwellers and mainly eat nuts, seeds, and fruits. They also consume insects, bird eggs, and small vertebrates. The grey squirrel was brought to England from North America in the 1870s. They are generally larger and robust with a grey-furred back, ears, and tail with an orange-tinted underside. Grey squirrels breed twice a year with litters of two or sometimes three young per litter. In all, there are around 5 million grey squirrels in the UK today! They are generally larger than other types of a squirrel. Without their tails, they can grow up to two feet in length. The tails of these creatures measure around 8 to 10 inches long.

If you are experiencing a squirrel problem, it is essential to contact a professional. Not only will they have the experience and knowledge to deal with the situation correctly, but they will also have access to the necessary tools and equipment. At Squirrel Pest Control, we offer squirrel trapping as our service. We understand that getting rid of these pests can be difficult, so we take a comprehensive approach that includes identifying the issue, assessing the property, and implementing an effective solution. Have you tried using DIY products to get rid of squirrels?
