Red squirrels can be more aggressive than some other squirrel species, particularly when it comes to defending their territory or food sources. Their aggressive behavior is more pronounced during the breeding season and when they have young to protect. These squirrels are known to chase away intruders and can be quite vocal when threatened. However, their aggression is generally directed towards other squirrels and rarely poses a threat to humans. In urban settings, this territorial aggression can sometimes lead to conflicts with humans, especially when squirrels invade homes or gardens. In such cases, humane and non-lethal solutions are preferred as provided by us at Birch Fumigators.

Red squirrels are indeed territorial animals, especially during certain times of the year. They establish and defend territories rich in food resources, such as areas with a high density of nut-producing trees. The size of a red squirrel’s territory can vary, but it typically ranges from 1 to 7 acres. Males tend to have larger territories than females and are more aggressive in defending them, particularly during the mating season. Territorial disputes among red squirrels often involve chases and vocal confrontations. Understanding these territorial behaviours is crucial for humane wildlife management practices like those employed by Birch Fumigators, which ensure minimal disruption to the squirrels’ natural habitat.

Red squirrels build nests, known as dreys, in trees. These nests are constructed using a variety of materials, including twigs, leaves, bark, and moss. The nests are typically located in the forks of tree branches or in hollow parts of trunks and are used for shelter and rearing young. Red squirrels may also use natural cavities or abandoned nests of birds or other squirrels. In urban environments, they sometimes nest in attics or other sheltered parts of buildings, which can lead to conflicts with homeowners. In such cases, humane intervention, such as the services provided by Birch Fumigators, is often necessary to relocate the squirrels to a more suitable habitat.
