Hi All,
The bloody squirrel has just destroyed all of my crocuses. It is the
last straw.
Where can I get a very inhumane trap that will kill the little B******
I saw a site last year that had recipes and lots of info against the
damn American T**** and links to very savage looking effective traps
but I can't find it at the moment.

Any answers?
p.s. I want something that will slaughter the damn yanks with extreme
prejudice.

My suggestions, both tried and tested:

1) Buy a "humane" cage trap for a tenner off the internet. Make sure it
protects your fingers when handling the trap with a squirrel in.
When you catch a squirrel, simply drop cage and squirrel into your water
butt.

2) If that's not enough fun, hang a bird feeder with peanuts where the
squirrels can get at it. Stand a dustbin underneath with 18" water in
the bottom. Attach a cord to the feeder and in through a window.
When a squirrel's busy with the peanuts, jerk the cord so it falls into
the water.

Once dead, grey squirrels are good eating: you can find recipes on Yank
foodie sites, try a Google on "Brunswick stew".

I find myself in two minds about this. Whilst I'm happy to believe a
squirrel is edible, I find it hard to imagine that the little meat
available on one makes it worth the effort of killing and butchering.

Then again, today I had plans for one of our Indian Game cockerels to
end up in the freezer, but the little sod was utterly impossible to
catch and I ended up having to shoot it, so comparatively speaking
perhaps a squirrel isn't that much effort after all...

Thanks Sheldon but it is not what i was looking for. I want something
with big teeth.

MadCow
This is not a little beast.
It is the size of a giant rabbit. Easily enough to feed a family of 4.
The gf turned pale when she first saw the little b******
Not as big as a dog but too big to be leaping around in our tiny
enclosed space.

MadCow
deathtogreysquirrels.com sounds about right but i can't seem to get to
it with either the .co.uk or the .com
They had a link to a very vicious trap with lots of teeth. From the
looks of it it was about the size of 6 vhs tapes together. The squirrel
puts its head in to eat the nuts and it shreds it off. About right
after how it shredded my crocuses.

There's more than might appear. About as much as on a young rabbit.

Right then, I shall keep the air rifle handy for when I see them nicking
my raspberries and apples this summer.

when i stayed with a family of a guy who i worked with in Atlanta a few years ago the dad had a rifle in the kitchen and must have killed about 5 greys when i was over. however i don't this helps you much, but thought i'd mention it anyway

LOL nice thread.


No good with a rifle? Shot gun... you just can't miss! Or if you really want to have fun a carbon graphite bow and arrow, combine skill with patience and take control of your garden.

P.S. watch out for the neighbours

You need a size 4 Fenn trap available from all good gunsmiths. Google
'Fenn trap' for instructions.

Especially if they're prone to discharge projectile weapons in their back
gardens ...

This will not slaughter them, but they are effective, a mink/rat trap from
Mole Valley farmers, in Somerset.

You will hav to carry out the dastardly deed of despatching the damned
things yourself , but it is quite satisfying.

Oh dear, oh daer, oh dear, let us hope that no one from the Screws of the
World reads this group, as you will be beaten to death by the reporters who
villified the gardeners at Buck House some years ago, when they were
depatching the damned things using this method.

But this is the way I deal with the buggers.

2) If that's not enough fun, hang a bird feeder with peanuts where the
squirrels can get at it. Stand a dustbin underneath with 18" water in the

That's a good idea, must try that one.

I must have despatched about 80 or so by now, but never really found one
with enough meat on it to make it worth while.
