I have been in the current place about 6 years. And this year we seem to have umpteen grey squirrels, to the exstent that bird feeding has been curtailed. I have just been watching one skittering over the conservatory whilst having breakfast. They are all over the roof, and I have not seen this before. Our local (lots of) cats are not as efficient as I would hope; at our old place about a third of the cats over time would catch squirrels. Here the setting is suburban and leafy, but relatively closely spaced houses. I do have a squirrel trap or two, which we used occasionally at the old place. I would like to assert a little control before we get any roof entry problems. I can do a certain amount of vegetation control, but the house is a converted bungalow with textured bricks, so that will be limited in impact. Can anyone suggest how to proceed? I will be consulting the Council and/or a pro, but I understand that the currently approved control method is trap then shoot with an air gun, with care being taken to place traps such that other non-vermin animals do not get caught. Cheers. Ferdinand
