The Grey Squirrel Sciurus carolinensis
To solve your squirrel problem now! call us on 0800 0567 231. |
|
The grey squirrel can live for up to 9 years. |
 |
Most often found in deciduous or mixed woodland but
can survive in trees, hedgerows, gardens and parks.
Grey squirrels feed mainly on fruits, acorns, roots,
tree-shoots, nuts and cereals. They bury excess food
or hide it in tree hollows. They feed at ground
level, more than red squirrels, and together with
their ability to digest acorns, they tend displace
red squirrels in areas of woodland where the two are
in competition.
Grey squirrels live in a compact, spherical nest (drey),
30-60cm in diameter, with an outer frame of twigs,
and dry leaves and grass inside. They are diurnal,
active from before sunrise to after sunset. The peak
of activity is in the autumn. Their range covers
2-10 hectares. Female Grey Squirrels produce a
litter of (usually) three young. This is mainly in
the spring or late summer, after a gestation period
of 40-45 days. The young are weaned after 10 weeks
and are independent at 16 weeks.
| Treatment |
 After establishing the
type and species of pest present, a trapping
programme should be implemented. Our
technicians aim to eradicate the presence of
squirrels without endangering people or
non-target animals within the area. We are
aware of the continuous changes that occur
within a nest and we consider this when
assessing your property. Traps, therefore,
have to be inaccessible to other animals. Usually, two follow-up surveys will occur at
intervals of three to five working days. |
