Default Squirrels

Jane, you need a number 4 Fenn trap, available from any gunsmith or
most agricultutral supplies for about £6.25 each or £74 a dozen.
Using bricks make a chamber big enough for the trap to operate in,
with a pipe at either end to make it 'inviting', set trap and cover
chamber with a roofing tile. IME no need to drown a rat or squirrel
caught in a fenn trap, they've always been dead already.
NB1 traps MUST be checked every 24 hrs at least (by law) if you're
going away, leave them unset
NB2 make sure its a good heavy tile, we wouldn't want curious cats
getting their paws caught, would we?

For some reason sqirrels just can't resist running through the tunnel
