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 ?
They're not fond of cats or sparrowhawks :-)
we've got a fast cat and a visiting grey squirrel. looking out of the window
one morning I saw squiggy scritting over the lawn and our cat also spotted
it, gave chase and batted it a right hook , rolling it over a couple of times.
squiggy got away, unharmed.
judging by the number of cats out the back (15 - 20 I know of) squirrels must
be quite deft at avoiding the attentions of lazy, well fed city moggies.
