Default Who's got squirrel-trapping experience?

You'd do much better to get a catch alive trap for squirrels. Fenn
traps are best for rats and stoats.
Plan B if all else fails but if you're not good Plan A.


Who says? Fenn 4's are legal for squirrels (among other vermin). WTF do
you do with a live-caught one? It's against the law to release vermin on
someone else's land. Drop the live trap in the rain-barrel? A Fenn is
much more humane. I really don't think you've thought this one through!


It takes about 8 seconds to drown the rat, better than trying to shoot it
and just injuring it so it takes hours to die!
