whether they take rat poison, or whether a special poison is
available?

Thank you, Joe

Your garden may be inundated with them, but before you take any drastic
action, please consider what damage they are actually causing and also
think about your neighbours. We have squirrels that have become the
wild pets of old folk who live near by and my disabled son. They cause
little damage in the area since they are regularly fed by the people who
love them and look forward to their arrival in the mornings.


The damage they cause is far greater than people who see them as lovely
animals know.

They kill birds and trees, they damage gardens by burying food, feed to them
by idiots, then forget where they buried it, so they dig up vast areas of
ground, digging up bulbs because they are stupid enough to imagine that
those things are edible to them.

So, don't look on them as nice things with furry tails, but as tree rats
which should be treated as any other form of rat, and kill the bloody
things.
