Squirrels are a typical woodland rodent in the UK. There are two main varieties present in the UK, 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 UK are extremely low. The grey squirrel is a non-native species which is considered to be to blame for the decline in numbers of the red squirrel as it threatens their territory and food sources. Grey squirrels are considered to be pests and can cause problems if they nest inside homes or other buildings.
Squirrels can be managed by many different pest control methods. Either live catch or snap traps can be used, although it is unlawful to release any caught grey squirrels because they are pests and can damage the local environment. Any caught 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 handle a squirrel infestation in your home is to block their access, although this must be performed carefully to ensure no young squirrels are trapped in a nest.
Experienced pest control companies can survey the area 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 using to enter your home.
