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

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • 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 mental  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 be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, 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.
