Squirrels

[kneeshooter]

There are Squirrels in the loft. I thought there was just one originally, but I poked my head up earlier and saw at least two.

They are not paying rent. Something has to be done...

Unfortunately it's illigal for them to be set free again but mark feeds them to the local fox and her cubs which i thought was the next best thing.

Friends of mine bought a BB gun to keep the squirrels off the bird feeder...

Buy a lion and pop that in the loft.

No more squirrel problems.

My dad took a shotgun to the last squirrel that got in where he didn't want it.

A real one - he has a licence & everything.

Apparently he used loads of shells before actually getting it.

I told him he was mean!

Do it quickly! Squirrels are the biggest cause or rural house fires because of chewing through cables. They're a bugger to get rid of too, especially if you want to do it humanely. They don't tend to eat poison. (My parents had them...)

get a cat! one of mine's very good at catching them. he caught the one i'd painstakingly tamed over winter, anyway. but make sure you get rid of the bodies - they're riddles with fleas!

Explosive nuts?

During my first year at University I had a terrifying sequence of nightmares about squirrels. I still don't trust them to this day. Odd but true. And not relevant.

gas 'em all.

Capture them and give them to me.
I like squirrels in our garden and feed them every day.
Here's one of our regulars: http://www.paulwilder.co.uk/images/squirrel.jpg

Cats on the other hand I chase out of our garden!
