Default Who's got squirrel-trapping experience?

The message

from Martin Pentreath contains these words:

I don't much like the idea of poison for the sake of the squirrels or
other wildlife, so plan B is an airgun, but obviously a trap would be
a lot less work (and less vulnerable to my appalling marksmanship).


Plan B and a lot of practice.

You're unlikely to lure a sqrl into a tunnel.

You could try erecting a board/piece of sheet a few inches above the
ground and putting peanuts under that to accustom it to the cover, then
glueing peanuts to the #### and burying it as before.

With the board set high enough not to be threatening, and low enough to
deter birds, you *MIGHT* succeed.

Want a recipe for sqrl?
