'Tis the season

Yes, 'tis the season when the grey squirrels start laying down supplies for the winter. Their appetites are voracious.



That's why you may find that some of your shrubs and plants have died unexpectedly? If you have then it is almost certainly due to grey squirrels. The grey squirrel is a foreign species which has proliferated and displaced our native red squirrels almost to the point of extinction. The reds are only to be found in a parts of Scotland a few minutes enclaves in England like the Isle of Wight.


Grey squirrels are officially classified as vermin and anyone is entitled to take control measures. In fact it is our obligation to take positive action. This can be done legally provided the DEFRA approved equipment is used in the specified manner.


I can supply you with the approved traps and safety tunnels. I can deliver locally or you can purchase direct via my website www.trapbarn.com


An approved humane trap is only ?10.50 and the tunnel ?13.00.


Please PM if you have any queries.

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
