Professional Grey Squirrel Control in Yorkshire
Bawcro provides professional grey squirrel removal and control across Yorkshire for businesses, farms, estates and other properties affected by squirrel activity.
Grey squirrels can cause considerable damage when they gain access to buildings or when populations become established around woodland, farmland and estates.
Our team assesses the individual site and the extent of the problem before recommending an appropriate squirrel control programme.
Problems Caused by Grey Squirrels
Grey squirrels can cause problems both inside buildings and across rural land.
When squirrels gain access to roof spaces and other parts of a building, they can gnaw timber, insulation and electrical wiring. They may also damage stored materials and create considerable noise and disturbance.
Across estates, farms and woodland, larger grey squirrel populations can damage trees, crops and other vegetation.
Professional squirrel control can therefore involve both removing squirrels from buildings and managing populations across larger areas of land.
Squirrel Removal from Buildings
Squirrels can gain access to roof spaces through gaps around roofs, eaves and other vulnerable areas of a building.
Once established, they can be difficult to remove without identifying where they are entering and the extent of the activity.
Bawcro provides squirrel removal for affected properties across Yorkshire, beginning with an assessment of the site and signs of squirrel activity.
Where appropriate, control can be followed by measures to reduce the likelihood of squirrels gaining access again.
Grey Squirrel Control
The appropriate method of grey squirrel control depends on the property, location, population and nature of the problem.
Bawcro provides professional control using suitable methods according to the individual site and circumstances.
This can include trapping and, where appropriate, firearms carried out by trained and experienced members of our team.
Our approach is designed around effective population management while ensuring work is carried out appropriately and in accordance with relevant requirements.
Squirrel Trapping
Trapping can be an effective method of controlling grey squirrels in suitable locations.
Before traps are positioned, we assess squirrel activity and the surrounding environment to determine an appropriate approach.
Traps are then positioned and managed as part of the agreed squirrel control programme.
Squirrel Control Using Firearms
On some farms, estates and larger areas of land, firearms may form part of an appropriate grey squirrel management programme.
Where this method is suitable, work is carried out by trained and experienced members of the Bawcro team, with the individual site and surrounding environment taken into consideration.
Squirrel Pest Control for Commercial Properties
Grey squirrels aren't only a problem for residential properties.
Commercial buildings, warehouses and other premises can also experience squirrel activity, particularly where access is available through roofs or other parts of the building.
Bawcro provides professional squirrel pest control for commercial properties across Yorkshire, helping identify the extent of the problem and the routes squirrels may be using to access the building.
Where proofing work is required, our pest proofing services can help address suitable entry points following control.
Squirrel Control for Farms
Grey squirrels can cause problems across farms and agricultural land, damaging buildings, trees and crops and gaining access to areas where food and shelter are available.
Bawcro provides squirrel control as part of our wider farm pest control and agricultural pest control services across Yorkshire.
The approach can be tailored to the farm, the level of squirrel activity and the areas requiring protection.
Squirrel Control for Estates and Woodland
Grey squirrel populations can cause significant damage to trees and woodland, particularly through bark stripping.
Bawcro provides squirrel population management for estates, woodland and larger rural properties as part of our specialist pest control for estates and land and wildlife management services.
Where squirrel activity is affecting a wider area of land, we can assess the population and develop an appropriate management programme rather than simply dealing with individual squirrels.
Squirrel Damage to Trees and Woodland
Grey squirrels can strip bark from trees, causing wounds that can affect tree health and development.
Damage can be particularly problematic where landowners are trying to establish or maintain woodland and young trees.
Where squirrel populations are contributing to repeated damage, ongoing population management may be required as part of wider land and wildlife management.
Preventing Squirrels from Entering Buildings
Removing squirrels may only solve part of the problem if the building continues to provide easy access.
Once squirrel activity has been dealt with, potential entry points can be assessed and suitable proofing measures considered.
Our pest proofing services can help protect vulnerable areas of buildings where appropriate.
Proofing should be carried out at the correct stage of the control programme so that squirrels aren't inadvertently trapped inside a building.
Monitoring and Ongoing Squirrel Management
Some sites may require more than a one-off squirrel removal treatment.
Farms, estates, woodland and other larger properties can experience continuing pressure from surrounding grey squirrel populations.
Where required, Bawcro can provide monitoring and ongoing squirrel management based on the individual site and the level of activity present
