Grey Squirrels can cause many problems both in the countryside and in urban areas. They can kill hundreds of
trees by stripping their bark off to get at the inner bark. Grey Squirrels will also dig up garden bulbs; inhabit lofts and
attics chewing through wires, destroying loft insulation and an personal possessions that may be there; raid bird feeders,
scaring song birds away; they also displace populations of our native Red Squirrel, because of the Grey Squirrels high breeding
rate, greater physical attributes and adaptability to habitat change, Grey Squirrels have displaced Red Squirrels throughout
most of the country. Grey Squirrels also carry the Parapoxvirus which is fatal to Red Squirrels
Craft Pest Control offers many services to control and remove Grey Squirrels from all situations.
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is illegal to release a Grey Squirrel or allow it to escape into
the countryside as it is not an indigenous species to this country (it was introduced into the country from the United States
and so is not native to Great Britain. Other such species include Rabbits and Mink)
