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

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
