Why squirrel pest control is needed
Grey squirrels were introduced to the UK in the late 1800s. They’ve forced our native Red Squirrels into retreat and infected them with Squirrel Pox disease; this kills Reds but not Greys. Reds are now an Endangered Species. Greys, and the aggressive Black variants, are the only squirrels seen in some parts of the UK. However, we are lucky to have Reds still in Essex; that’s why grey squirrel control in East Anglia is so important. Grey squirrels are legally classed as pests. They spread fast because they can live in parks & gardens, in villages & cities as well as in much of the countryside. They breed up to 7 babies twice a year; that’s an awful lot of pest squirrels to control. Pest squirrels are rodents like rats so they’re destructive and chew everything they find. They are strong, cause damage by pulling with their front legs and they’ll attack people to get food.
