Squirrels
Basics
In the Beeches, the most common type is the Eastern Gray Squirrel. These animals grow from 40 to 50 cm long from head to tail, with the tail being as long as the body. Colouration can vary from white through gray to black.
Damage
If they gain access to a house, they can build nests, chew on insulation, and urinate and defecate.
Diseases
Squirrels are vectors for:
- Salmonellosis
- Lyme disease
- Tularemia
- Leptospirosis
- Rabies (rare)
In addition, they can act as hosts for ticks and other pests which, in turn, can transmit disease.
Removal
If threatened, squirrels can become aggressive, so it is best to have a professional handle removal.
