This small mammal has some big ecological impacts—it has depleted populations of the European red squirrel through out-competition and disease (parapoxvirus), and displaces native birds of their nesting habitat, eating the birds’ eggs and nestlings. It also competes with native mice and voles.
Economically, Eastern grey squirrels cost homeowners repairs due to digging up of lawns and gardens, chewing through electrical wires, eaves and shingles, and nesting in roofs, attics, and chimneys. Fruit and nut trees and vines may not produce as well due to the bark chewed away from these critters.

Under “Schedule C” of the Wildlife Act, homeowners in BC are permitted to live trap and humanely euthanise or shoot the Eastern grey squirrel. Trapping is most effective during winter months when food is scarce.
Eastern grey squirrels are identifiable by their dark to pale grey backs that may be brushed with cinnamon on hips, feet, and head. Ears are buff to grey to white, and its tail is white to pale grey.
Prevention and persistence are key to management of the Eastern grey squirrel. To prevent their spread, please consider the following measures:
Don’t feed or relocate grey squirrels
Keep all compost, garbage and pet food covered
Use squirrel-proof bird feeders
Please report sightings to your Regional Committee or the Invasive Species Council of BC at 1-888-WEEDSBC. Visit

Maybe we could train our coyotes to selectively only hunt grey squirrels. Give them people's little yappers and cats as a reward.
Fiddle Dog sure seems to worry about everything that goes on in Britain, and sees a cornspiracy behind it all. Now if he can just find the link between Chuck and the Muslims.
