Squirrel's - the most common squirrel in the uk is that off the grey squirrel, as the red squirrel is few and far between these days.

these animals may look very cute but are still considered a pest as they can get in loft areas and cause a lot of damage by chewing through woodwork and cables.

they often nest in the winter months during their hibernation periods and in loft spaces as well as the damage caused they can make a lot of noise and give people many an endless nights sleep.

As with other rodents they are identified by the different types of droppings and the way in which they have chewed through wood or items stored in the loft.
