Squirrels in the Attic in Rochdale, Oldham and Bury.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The grey squirrel population in the North West U.K. has boomed over the last 20 years to the degee that they have grown to be a major pest species dealt with by Squirrels in Attic Pest Control

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The grey squirrels which we see in our gardens (Sciurus carolinensis) are not native to Britain, having been brought here here less than 200 years ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like many members of the Sciuridae family, the Grey Squirrel is a hoarder; it hoards food in numerous small caches for later recovery. Some hoards are temporary, particularly those made near the source of a sudden surplus of food.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other stores are more permanent and are not retrieved until many months later. It has been seen that each squirrel makes several thousand hoards each year. They have very good spatial memory for the locations of these hoards, and use distant and nearby landmarks to relocate them. Smell is used when the squirrel is within a few centimetres of the hoard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The nest of the grey squirrel is called a dray (or drey) and it is standard for the female to have two litters per year, with two to four babies each.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are often minor problems, rooting bulbs and taking food intended for birds but can become major pests when they come into our houses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is increasingly common for Trafford Pest Control to be called out to properties where a nest has been built in a loft or attic space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Squirrels are rodents and as such have teeth which never stop growing; the word rodent comes from the Latin word rodere meaning to gnaw or eat away and this they do very successfully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is rare to enter an attic space where a dray has been made and find that they have not chewed electric cables, indeed it is estimated that forty percent of fires without an obviously attributable cause may have been started by rodents damaging wiring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately they can also chew through water-pipes, especially with the modern trend towards plastic push-fit piping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As if that is not enough, most household insurance policies exclude damage done by vermin so if a squirrel floods your house by going through a water pipe in the attic you may find yourself without any cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Removing Squirrels in Loft requires professional help, often because the law regarding squirrels restricts your options. You cannot simply buy a packet of rat poison from your local hardware and deal with them that way as you would be committing an offence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Furthermore you cannot trap them and release them some distance away, not only would removing a squirrel from the area of its food hoards probably starve it to death, it is also a criminal offence under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 which makes it illegal to release a grey squirrel in in the British Isles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That applies also to rescuing and/or rehabilitating and releasing injured squirrels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the vast majority of cases trapping is the most realistic option and this must be done in a specified manner with routine, regular inspections of the traps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trapped squirrels are then despatched humanely.

Organic Tomato Gardening

Envision sinking your teeth in to a home picked, wonderfully ripe, delicious and organically grown tomato, with the juice running down your chin. Yummy!

Through organic tomato gardening, you’ll be able to say goodbye to those shop-bought tomatoes with tough skins, and tasteless, pale flesh. Whenever tomatoes are home grown organically and are naturally ripened, it is easy to pluck a tomato off your plant and eat it without washing it to get rid of chemical substances.

Nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware and concerned about the importance of their health. As a result of this world-wide shift in awareness, a lot more people right around the world are selecting to explore the alternative of growing their own organic veg and fruits, including organic tomato gardening. Tomatoes will grow in just about any kind of soil and after the frosts are gone.

Organic tomato gardening in your backyard is incredibly simple:

First decide where you want to place your tomato bed, ensuring it is in a sunny position and away from trees and shrubs, which tend to rob the soil of the nutrition you will need for your plants. Tomatoes like six to eight hours of sun every day.

Second, dig over the soil and apply some well rotted compost and manure. If you don’t curently have any on hand, you can buy bags of compost and manure from your Garden Nursery. Rake over your garden bed and leave for a week or so.

Third is to choose which variety of tomato you want to grow. The little cocktail ones that do well in garden containers, or the plum shaped ones, or maybe even the big beefsteak ones. There are lots of varieties to select from which are ideal for organic tomato gardening.

Furthermore, you’ll need some garden stakes to support your plants as they grow. You can grow from seed or buy seedlings which will save you some time - that’s what I like to do.

Right after going to your Garden Nursery to select the seedlings you need for your organic tomato gardening, the fourth step is to plant them out, sticking to the directions that come with the container. Usually you would plant your tomatoes about two to two and a half feet apart and hammer in a stake alongside to support your plant as they grow heavy and laden with fruit.

Almost done - right now you need to water your plants in well, after that stand back and admire your own handiwork.

Be sure you keep the ground moist although not soggy and finally when the plants are about six weeks old, it’s a good time to then add cow tea.

This is made by placing about a quarter of a bucketful of cow manure into an old used bucket, fill it up with water, stir and leave to “brew” for a week or two. Pour off about a quarter of the ‘tea’ right into a watering can, fill with water and apply to the tomatoes.

You’ll be surprised at how well your tomatoes will love cow tea and respond. Stand back and wait for your first batch of organic tomatoes to ripen. Save the remainder of the cow tea to apply again in another two to three weeks, always diluting it, or water it into other garden beds.

My personal favorite tomato recipe is to toast some bread, spread with butter, add some slices of tomato and some freshly chopped basil. Season with some salt and pepper. Enjoy - this is simply delicious! Nothing is better than the fresh, full flavor of home grown tomatoes from organic tomato gardening.
