PEST ADVICE FOR CONTROLLING GREY SQUIRRELS
Abate Pest Management receive lots of calls for squirrels every year and this is because of the damage they cause to properties and the noises squirrels make at night – which can be very distressing!
As well as physical damage and noise complaints, just like rats and mice, squirrels can cause serious contaminations.
SQUIRREL DAMAGE IN YOUR HOME, BUSINESS & TO YOUR HEALTH
Grey squirrels can cause damage when they enter roof spaces of houses and buildings.
Grey squirrels can:
Chew on wood and ceilings
Make a mess of fibreglass insulation
Contaminate cold water tanks with urine and droppings
Remove insulation from electrical wires
We also receive reports of sleep issues thanks to the loud noises squirrels make during the night when they are running around your loft. Their peak activity is activity is four-five hours before daybreak.
Because grey squirrels are an invasive pest species, it is against the law to re-release a grey squirrel if it’s been caught alive, per the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
For Abate Pest Management, this means we are legally obliged to dispatch any grey squirrel they catch alive.
The UK Forestry Commission estimates grey squirrels cause £6-10 million damage to British forestry per year.

Useful Information
Cutting back trees or branches that are overhanging a building, or trimming dense ivy can help prevent squirrels gaining access to a roof in the first place.
