Squirrels are a typical woodland rodent in the United Kingdom. There are two main types that live in the UK, the grey squirrel and the red squirrel. The red squirrel is a indigenous species and is also protected legally as its numbers in the United Kingdom are very low. The grey squirrel is a non-native species which is regarded as 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 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 used, although it is illegal to release any caught grey squirrels because they are pests and may damage the local environment. Any captured 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 make sure that no young squirrels are trapped in a nest.
Qualified pest control companies can survey the location and carry out a pest control program which does not harm any other species in an area. They’ll also be able to advise you of the best way to stop any access routes that the squirrels are employing to enter your house.
