While grey squirrels appear cute and docile, they do have destructive habits that can wreak havoc if left unchecked.
Grey squirrels cause a surprising amount of damage, both inside and outside of a property. Like rodents, they tend to gnaw on wooden materials, and are often found inside lofts. They chew on woodwork and even rip out important wiring when found inside of properties.
Furthermore, squirrels make a lot of noise when scurrying about inside of a loft, while they may leave droppings and urinate, leaving behind unpleasant odours.
Because of their status as an invasive species, it is illegal to release a captured grey squirrel. Instead, anyone that captures a living grey squirrel on their property must properly dispose of the animal.
Of course, not many people can catch, let alone dispose of a grey squirrel found around their property.
