GLIS GLIS
As seasons change and the weather gets cooler, glis glis look to hibernate, They often do this in homes, business premises, lofts, garages - just about anywhere were they can find a warm, cozy area to bed down.
Pest control companies must be licensed by Natural England in order to control glis glis (also known as the Edible Dormouse). They are a protected species and so experience and expertise is required to deal with them.
​
They are often mistaken for squirrels though they not related and are smaller than the squirrel.
Glis glis cause problems with the change of weather as they prepare to hibernate as winter begins. Often they find their way into your loft space or cavity walls where they cause untold damage, particularly dangerous due to their love of electrical cables that can cause fires. They cause a lot of noise as they run throughout cavities and loft spaces.

TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED
GOODNATURE HUMANE TRAPS - A24 Trap
As per the Spring Traps Approval Order (England) 2021, Goodnature A24 Humane Spring Traps are now approved for the use of dispatching glis glis.
​
Those who know Full Guard know we have long been an advocate of Goodnature technology, so we are very pleased to see this amendment added.
​
The A24 is a fantastic addition: it is humane, fully automated and toxin-free. Capable of dealing with a large number of rodents before needing to be reset, they are a very efficient way of dealing with any infestation.
