catch a squirrel
11 Answers
I have a grey squirrel that has eaten most of my apricots off a tree, and leaves only the shell of the seeed pod on the ground, broken and with thes inside gone. Does anyone know how to catch it. I am also putting this on A&N.

i've just come back from centreparcs in penrith which is a red squirrel sanctuary. The ranger there said all grey squirrels should be killed as they carry a disease that the red ones can't handle and they die within a fortnight.. I'm sure he said there was a number to ring if you see one. I think they need to know how many there are in the uk now. The forestry commision or wildlife trust would probably give you some adice.
Hi Hard@it, thought about netting?....
