Hey

Can anybody help with this one...

I have at least 2 squirrells who have camped out in the loft.

I called the council and they put me touch with their contactors. Cost £35. They put a large metal trap near to the entry point.

WOW...it worked, i took away the tents and replaced them with Squirrel traps..

Went up this morning and all 3 traps had a squirrel each.

Safely dropped them off about 1 mile up the road in the local forest.


hopefully, thats them finished with.

HOWEVER, to get back to the original question and be serious for a moment.


Why don't you just TAKE THEIR TENT AWAY !!! ?

Hmmm, I take it you're not hired by Peter Kay as one of his script writers then?

Best to check exactly what colour they are before killing them. Red squirrels are protected :rolleyes:

Good point, but when was the last time you saw a red squirrel?

Last summer

they are VERY rare, but i know the red ones are protected and of course i wouldnt suggest killing a red one.

They are grey and carry signs on their backs saying

"we will annoy everyone..all night...chew through your wires and burn your house down...AND my red mate can do that too"

I dont mind which colour because I didnt kill them, and im hoping they wont return...or I might not be so forgiving.

Are you putting the camping equipment on eBay to recover some of your costs ?
