A useful little field test from this week.

We installed one of our new Redeye squirrel feeding stations on Sunday and by Friday, the hopper was almost empty.

That works out at roughly 0.5kg of feed disappearing every day.

Published estimates suggest an adult grey squirrel typically consumes around 40 to 80g of food per day. On that basis, 500g represents the equivalent daily food intake of roughly 6 to 12 grey squirrels.

It isn’t a literal headcount, squirrels cache food, individuals may take different amounts and other wildlife can contribute, but it gives a useful indication of the level of pressure on the site.

It also puts into perspective what grey squirrels can do to ordinary garden bird feeders. A site supporting several animals can get through a surprising amount of feed very quickly, leaving the birds hungry.

More importantly, we’ve now directly confirmed grey squirrels using the station, so the control point has been successfully established within a few days.

That’s the purpose of the Redeye approach: establish predictable activity at a known location, monitor the pressure, then manage it in a structured and targeted way.

Call us if you have a squirrel problem you need solving in a fast, discreet and professional way.

Seeing a squirrel in the garden is usually nothing unusual, but residents should know what to do

New Redeye bait station deployed today in one of the woodlands we manage.

Loaded with a high-quality peanut mix and positioned on an established travel route, the aim is to create a reliable feeding point that draws grey squirrels from across the surrounding woodland.

Grey squirrels will commonly range across several hectares, often 2–10 ha depending on habitat and food availability, so a well-sited, consistently stocked feeder can become a real focal point for activity.

Simple, robust and built for the job. Our heavy-duty steel Redeye bait stations are also available to purchase for woodland owners, gamekeepers and pest controllers.

We provide specialist Grey Squirrel Management for woodlands, game farms and large gardens, from site assessment and feeder deployment through to ongoing control.

New steel squirrel hopper feeders now available.

Prototype here ready for testing. Built from steel with a generous three-sided access platform for easy approach and stable feeding, plus a rain shield, drainage holes and pitched roof. Properly made, heavy-duty and built to last.

This first one is finished in hammered green. Future versions will likely be offered in a more discreet matt olive.

£98 each.

Drop me a message if you’d like one.

GREY SQUIRREL MANAGEMENT

Redeye offers a dedicated grey squirrel management service for woodland, estates, large gardens, smallholdings and rural properties across South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire.

Our approach is structured and targeted.

We begin with a site assessment to understand squirrel activity, habitat, movement routes and the most suitable control location. A purpose-built Redeye feeding station is then temporarily installed and supplied with feed to establish predictable activity.

Once the feeding point is established, we return for a dedicated control session, before removing the feeder and providing a written report of activity and the work undertaken.

For properties requiring ongoing management, Redeye can provide seasonal programmes throughout the year, helping landowners maintain consistent control rather than relying on occasional intervention.

✔ Woodland and large gardens
✔ Estates and smallholdings
✔ Temporary feeding stations
✔ Planned control sessions
✔ Written site and activity reports
✔ One-off and annual management programmes available

Grey squirrel management is about more than simply responding when numbers become noticeable. A planned approach allows pressure to be monitored and managed over time.

This is what active feeding sign looks like. 🐀

We opened this bait station on a live commercial contract this morning to find exactly this; a brodifacoum block that’s been seriously worked. Gnaw debris across the station floor, the block significantly reduced, and consistent return visits written all over it.

To confirm it wasn’t a one-off, a large brown rat was spotted moving around the exterior of the premises this same morning.

Every Redeye visit involves opening, inspecting, and recording, not just a drive-by to tick a box.

When a block looks like this, it tells a story: there’s population pressure, the bait point is well-placed, and the treatment is working.

It also tells us we’re within an active baiting programme that needs to be managed carefully, because rodenticide doesn’t stay on the ground indefinitely on a compliant contract. There’s a reason the 35-day rule exists, and there’s a reason most operators quietly ignore it.

We don’t.

Most pest control operators leave bait stations on the ground and forget about them. We don’t.

UK law is clear: rodenticide bait should not be used for longer than 35 consecutive days without a clear justification. Yet walk around most commercial sites and you’ll find bait points that haven’t been properly reviewed in months, or longer. That’s not pest control. That’s just hoping for the best.

At Redeye, our approach to commercial contracts starts with detection, not dosing. We deploy monitoring blocks at key activity points across your site. No rodenticide, just data. That tells us where pressure is coming from, how much activity is present, and whether an infestation actually warrants chemical intervention in the first place.

When rodenticide is warranted, we use it. But we also have a plan to stop using it, because that’s what responsible, compliant pest management looks like.

If your current contractor can’t tell you the last time they reviewed their baiting rationale, it might be time for a conversation.

If rodents are near your bins, they’re already damaging your business.

For pubs, bars, and restaurants, bin areas are ground zero.

And once rats establish a food source, they’ll push further . . . kitchens, cellars, storage.

This isn’t just a nuisance. It’s:

❌ Failed inspections
❌ Damaged reputation
❌ Lost revenue

At Redeye Environmental, we provide discreet, professional rodent control for commercial premises.

✔️ Regular monitoring & reporting (EHO-ready)
✔️ Structured baiting & proofing plans
✔️ Fast call-outs when activity appears
✔️ Unmarked service so your customers never know

Most providers tick a box. We actively manage the problem before it becomes visible.

Not 100% confident in your current pest control?

Spring is here and with it the warmer weather. It’s also when rat breeding activity begins to surge.

A single pair of rats can produce up to 6 litters per year with 6 to 12 pups per litter.

Those young rats can begin breeding themselves in as little as 8 to 12 weeks.

That means a small problem can become a serious infestation surprisingly quickly if left unchecked.

If you’ve noticed scratching, droppings, burrows, or activity around bins/decking, early intervention is key.

This customer called us after noticing signs of rodent activity around their property and wanted the issue handled quickly, professionally, and discreetly.

Following a full inspection, we identified key high-traffic areas and installed secure, tamper-resistant monitoring/bait stations in strategic locations around the perimeter. Each station is fully indexed, logged, and recorded as part of our professional tracking system so we always know exactly where every station is and what it contains.

At Redeye, we don’t believe in guesswork. We use trade-grade equipment, structured treatment plans, and methodical placement strategies to ensure every job is carried out properly from day one.

Fast. Discreet. Professional.
