Grey squirrels are charming animals to watch. It is a shame that the damage they do can be so devastating.
It feels like if you shoot one, two more take it's place.
They are a B. menace as far as I am concerned

NOt sure if I agree, seems it would be better to control them in the winter. They aren't mating, no babies would be left in the nest to starve- shoot them, either eat them or feed them to your dog. Just an opinion.

@darkmossie633 Well they should, they are an invading species that are destroying our own Red population. Mind you these are most likely the same idiots who agreed with releasing the Mink into the UK river system which has now destroyed our water vole population. They are morons, idiots and cretins of the highest order.

@galenwolf many thx for your support, but say this on other videos, and especislly people who live in concrete jungles (townies), who have no idea about the damage the grey squirell is doing, will jump on you like a load of Zombies!

@galenwolf the grey squirell is slowly moving north, and has now been seen in Scottish lowlands, so eventually the red squirell will be extinct there, due to the pox which grey squirell carries, which they are immune to , but is fatal to red squirell
-if you have trouble with grey squirell in your garden, or invading your attic, just smear your plastic bird feeders with chilli sauce (wild birds are not affected by chiili at all) and sprinkle cayenne pepper liberally on your attic floor

I bought an excellent xl squirrel trap made by Safeguard. After the trap was painted, I set it out under my birdfeeder. I use shelled peanuts as bait. I am up to 7 so far! I dispatch them in a water filled trash can. Freeze them so a friend can use them as fisher bait come November. LOVE TRAPPING SQUIRRELS
