Grey Squirrels

Sciurus Carolinensis

Grey squirrels in the garden are a pleasant sight, but once inside your home, they pose a challenging problem to eliminate. Issues typically arise in spring and autumn when squirrels are foraging. It may indicate a grey squirrel issue if you hear rustling or other noises from your attic or loft. Prompt action is crucial, as these rodents are highly destructive, and their nighttime activities can be distressing.

We specialise in humane grey squirrel removal and sealing entry points to prevent their return. Our thorough building assessments provide peace of mind, and our loft clearance services will remove any contamination, allowing you to utilise your loft space without further concerns. We sometimes utilise our drone to pinpoint the entry hole if it isn’t visible from the ground. This is quicker and safer than climbing ladders that may damage the building fabric. Our drone is a Mavic Mini 4 Pro with omnidirectional sensors built in. Which means it can’t crash into any person or building!

FAQs

Yes, in the UK, grey squirrels are classified as vermin. As non-native species, they have significantly contributed to the near-extinction of the native red squirrel. This classification prohibits trapping and releasing grey squirrels into the wild or keeping them in captivity. If you have an infestation, they must be humanely euthanised according to legal regulations.

Grey squirrels live approximately nine years and reach reproductive maturity at 10-12 months old. They have two breeding seasons yearly: the first is around March, and the second is mid-summer. Litter sizes are usually around three or four.

Grey squirrels carry diseases and may bite if threatened, making DIY removal risky. Removal can also be challenging due to legal restrictions on releasing them into the wild. Start by removing food sources, but please get in touch for a thorough roof inspection, squirrel removal, and guaranteed prevention.
