While they may look harmless in the garden, once they get inside your home they can quickly wreak havoc and cause costly damage to wiring, loft insulation and timber. The challenge with squirrels is that they're agile, persistent, and able to squeeze through even the smallest gaps in your roofline or eaves. If left unchecked, a single squirrel can set up a nest, reproduce, and turn your loft into a noisy, messy, and potentially hazardous space.

Squirrel fibromatosis may look terrifying, but it's a common skin disease among gray squirrels in the US. It's caused by the leporipoxvirus and is spread through direct contact between healthy squirrels and the lesions or saliva of infected squirrels.
