SEARCH FOR A PEST

They are active during daylight hours and are common in both rural and urban environments.

Naturally they prefer to build their nests called dreys or dens in trees but where these are scarce or absent then they are much more likely to enter into building roof spaces. They will easily climb walls to enter buildings where they cause serious damage by gnawing woodwork, chewing electrical cables and water pipes and tearing up insulation to make their dreys. In gardens and parks they will damage or kill saplings and trees, eat garden fruit and dig up lawns to bury food. They are also responsible for killing many young birds while being reared in their nests.
