UK homeowners warned of rodent invasions, causing fire hazards and property damage.

This winter, UK homeowners are warned of an expected rise in rat and squirrel invasions as these animals seek warmth, potentially causing fire hazards by chewing on electrical cables. Grey squirrels, which don’t hibernate, can damage insulation and create nests. Experts recommend sealing roof gaps and trimming trees to prevent access. There has been a noted increase in home insurance claims related to animal infestations.
