My garden is rapidly getting over-run with grey squirrels. They also
try increasingly ingenious ways to get into my loft, but I seem to be
keeping them out of there for the moment.

I can see this thread attracting some whimsical replies, but is there
anything practical that can be done to keep the local squirrel
population under control ?

Open a squirrel pie shop ?

Squirrel meat is delicious but getting the skin off hardly makes it
worthwhile.

I'm not being whimsical but after a few months of getting two chickens our
squirrels stopped coming, except for very odd occasions.
