About Squirrels

Squirrels are common pests that can cause significant damage if not dealt with promptly. There are two primary species of squirrels in the UK: gray squirrels and red squirrels.

Gray Squirrels:

• Length: Approximately 18 inches, including a 9-inch tail.

• Weight: 1-1.5 lbs as adults.

• Color: Typically gray with a white belly, but some may have tan hairs in their fur.

• Activity: Gray squirrels are most active during the day and are known to inhabit attic spaces, where they can cause damage to insulation, wires, and other materials.

• Winter Coat: Grey above with a white underside.

• Summer Coat: Shorter, sleeker, and more brownish-gray.

Red Squirrels:

• Size: Smaller and lighter than gray squirrels.

• Appearance: Red or brown upper parts in summer, with ear tufts. In winter, their coat can show gray on the back, making them appear similar to gray squirrels.

• Habitat: Red squirrels live in wooded areas, particularly in tree cavities, and are more commonly found near oak and hickory trees.

• Diet: They eat bird eggs, insects, berries, fruit, vegetables, and nuts. They are also known for hoarding food.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How can I tell if I have a squirrel infestation?

• Common signs include hearing scratching noises in the attic, seeing droppings or chewed wires, or noticing damaged insulation. You might also find entry points like holes in your attic or visible tracks around your property.
