Squirrels are a common woodland rodent in the United Kingdom. There are two main varieties present in the United Kingdom, the grey squirrel and the red squirrel. The red squirrel is a native species and it is protected by law as its numbers in the United Kingdom are extremely low. The grey squirrel is a non-native species which is considered to be responsible for the decrease 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 they nest inside homes or other buildings.
Squirrels can be controlled by a range of pest control methods. Either live catch or snap traps can be utilised, although it is unlawful to release any captured grey squirrels because they are pests and may harm the local environment. Any trapped live grey squirrels must be killed humanely. These traps must be placed 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 make sure that no young squirrels are trapped in a nest.
Expert pest control companies will be able to survey the location and perform a pest control program which will not harm any other species in an area. They’ll also be able to give you advice on the most effective way to stop any access routes that the squirrels are employing to enter your property.
