The problem
What you're dealing with
Grey squirrels in a loft are noisier and far more destructive than rodents. They strip insulation for nesting, gnaw joists and, most seriously, chew electrical cabling. Greys are an invasive non-native species, so under the Wildlife and Countryside Act they cannot legally be released once caught.
