About the Edible or Fat Dormouse

Glis are very agile creatures, often mistaken for squirrels by those unaware of the species. They are small and not related to the squirrel at all. They live in woodland areas and feed on nuts, berries, pine cones, seeds and other fruits.

Problems usually come about with the change of weather as they look to hibernate around October and November. This is when they find their way into loft spaces or cavity walls. During mating season they can cause a lot of noise as they run throughout cavities and lofts.

These animals are protected and only licensed companies can deal with their removal. JG glis control has the licences and experience required to safely remove your glis problems.
