How can I evict some squirrels?

Phone your environmental health office, or even the RSPCA. Either one shoudl advise on removal and deterrants.I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.0 -
Buy a scottie dog.
They don't always catch the blighters, but they let you know where they are in the house.
Same with rodents & frogs.0 -
There is an old irish song called "The Waterford Boys" about Rats, but I guess it would also apply to Squirrels.
It suggests charging them lodging because "They`ve wrestled the Dogs and killed all the cats" ...It ends:
"Charge them 5 Shillings, and dry bread and water lay before them be sure,
And devil the rat will you ever see more".
Not very helpful, but funny!0 -
I tried giving them a rent book but they just chewed it up!I would if I could but I can't so I won't!0

That's all very well sofa but what do you do with the rodents and frogs once they have found the squirrels for you??Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.Together we can make a difference.0 -

Nothing so far
There's frogs (and probably a bit more!), under the decking, but they keep the dog amused for hours
A local farmer did offer us some poison, (seems it's a common problem around here), but we've declined so far.
Not one of my better posts was it?0 -
