First there was one, now there's four & they are making a right mess in
the garden & chasing away blackbirds from the garden who are doing a great
job in keeping insects & slugs under control. One of the blasted squirrel
attacked a wood pigeon, i saw a plume of feathers flying & the pigeon had
a nasty head wound. Are squirrels normally this aggressive? and is there
any way of controlling the squirrels(grey) short of shooting them! As far
as i know... these are not crack cocaine addicted squirrles like the ones
reported in the news but they are still a real menace!

Any advice on how to keep them out of the garden would be greatly
appreciated, i'm tempted to catch/trap them & put collars with bells on
them, that way i'd know when they're around.

Buy a rat/mink trap from Mole valley farmers at Bridgewater, set it, catch
the buggers, dispose of them, leave the bodies for the foxes.
