Got a grey squirrel problem?


Recommended Posts

Have you found that some of your shrubs and plants have died unexpectedly? If you have then it is almost certainly due to squirrels.

Grey squirrels are officially classified as vermin and anyone is entitled to take control measures. This can only be done legally if the DEFRA approved equipment is used in the specified manner.


This equipment is the Fenn Mark4 and costs ?12.50 and can be delivered locally free of charge.


Please PM if you have any queries.

Have you found that your inbox got spammed by killers unexpectedly? If you have then it's almost certainly due to Green Goose.


Green Goose appears to condone and profit from the killing of small furry animals and anyone is entitled ignore the killer. Letting other animals live can be done legally by doing anything compassionate in any manner.


Compassion is free and can be expressed totally free of charge.


?12.50 can buy shrubs and plants that squirrels aren't too fond of.

"the trap must be used in a manner that minimises the likelihood of its killing, taking or injuring non-target species;"

...

"The traps must be set in natural or artificial tunnels which are, in either case, suitable for the purpose."

Absolutely correct. As I said in my post """This can only be done legally if the DEFRA approved equipment is used in the specified manner""".


The Fenn Mark4 is designed for use in a tunnel (with an internal height 0f 15cms) and works best that way- 100% effective, instantaneous and humane despatch. Professional trappers know that and would never use one without a tunnel.


You can now get them from my online store https://trapbarn.com

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
