Squirrels are a common woodland rodent in the UK. There are two main types present in the UK, the grey squirrel and the red squirrel. The red squirrel is a native species which is protected legally as its numbers in the United Kingdom are incredibly low. The grey squirrel is a non-native species which is considered to be the reason for the decline 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 properties.
Squirrels can be managed by a variety of pest control methods. Either live catch or snap traps can be utilised, although it is against the law to release any caught grey squirrels as they are pests and can harm 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 house is to prevent their access, although this must be done carefully to make sure that no young squirrels are trapped in a nest.
Specialist 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 advise you of the most effective way to stop any access routes that the squirrels are employing to enter your home.
