"BAC" wrote in message ... "Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message k... The message .com from "John Edgar" contains these words: Put some poison in your roof space. That gets rid of them. You do not ned the female giving birth up there, because the whole family will keep coming back and they are extremely persistent. You need to kill them all quickly. If you do not get rid of them, they will eat through electric wiring. It all gets very expensive. Squirrels in the roofspace are a well-known fire hazard for this reason. In the event of a fire, and your insurance company finds out you haven't made efforts to bar entry, you might find yourself in financial difficulties to say the least. My solution would be a marksman with a decent air rifle. I can provide an excellent squirrel pie recipe... The official advice for dealing with squirrels in the roof space is at www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/ rds/publications/technical/TAN_09.pdf , if it has wrapped. Basically, it's to live trap them and then kill by bashing them over the head in a sack or shooting them in the trap Drowning is very quick, it would be dangerous to attempt to get them into a sack, as that would require opening the cage, which, if you have ever seen one close up, you would not wish to get that close to. |
