If you do nothing, the trespasser may eventually claim that you have lost the right to remove them, and thus trigger issues of "adverse possession", meaning you could lose the ownership of the property.

In former times squatters were people who lived on the common land. They didn't own any land and could be forced out of where they were living at any time.
