If there are already animals that do so with a moderate or border-line positive population then when Eastern Grey Squirrels come they could tip the balance and possibly destroy a species of plants which will lead to other herbivores or omnivores dying.

Breeding Red Squirrels could also help drive out the Eastern Grey Squirrels.
