The Grey Squirrel began appearing in the countryside during the 19th Century. They have invaded preactically every county in England, and have survived repeated Government attempts at extermination.

Squirrels are not thought to carry diseases, however they have attributed to the drastic decline in numbers of our native red squirrel.

Squirrels are only a problem when they gain access into your loft. Once inside, they will tear up insulating material to build their nests. They will also gnaw woodwork, plastic piping and electric wiring, which could lead to floods or fires. The usual solution to a squirrel problem is a trapping programme.
