Get Squirrel Control estimate today!
Squirrels are a common woodland rodent in the UK. There are two main types present in the United Kingdom, the grey squirrel and the red squirrel. The red squirrel is a indigenous species and is protected legally as its numbers in the UK are extremely low. The grey squirrel is a non-native species which is regarded as the reason for the drop in numbers of the red squirrel as it threatens their territory and food sources. Grey squirrels are viewed as pests and can cause problems if indeed they nest inside homes or other buildings.
Squirrels can be managed by several different pest control methods. Either live catch or snap traps can be utilised, although it is against the law to release any captured grey squirrels as they are pests and can harm the local environment. Any trapped live grey squirrels must be killed humanely. These traps must be set in such a way as not to cause harm to other wildlife. The most effective way to manage a squirrel infestation in your home is to block their access, although this must be done carefully to ensure no young squirrels are trapped in a nest.
Qualified pest control companies can survey the area and perform a pest control program which does not harm any other species in an area. They’ll also be able to advise you of the most effective way to block any access routes that the squirrels are employing to enter your house.
