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 ?

Get an air rifle and scope... it works well and if you can open a window
on the inside of your house you can shoot them from the comfort there!
(Just make sure no one can walk past the window as you squeeze the
trigger!) As someone else said, they make a tasty meal too!

Do what Elvis used to do (before he made it big of course)...shoot them and
eat them.

I wonder if you cover them with chocolate if they taste like Snickers?
