NOt sure if I agree, seems it would be better to control them in the winter. They aren’t mating, no babies would be left in the nest to starve- shoot them, either eat them or feed them to your dog. Just an opinion.

@darkmossie633 Well they should, they are an invading species that are destroying our own Red population. Mind you these are most likely the same idiots who agreed with releasing the Mink into the UK river system which has now destroyed our water vole population. They are morons, idiots and cretins of the highest order.

@galenwolf many thx for your support, but say this on other videos, and especislly people who live in concrete jungles (townies), who have no idea about the damage the grey squirell is doing, will jump on you like a load of Zombies!

@galenwolf the grey squirell is slowly moving north, and has now been seen in Scottish lowlands, so eventually the red squirell will be extinct there, due to the pox which grey squirell carries, which they are immune to , but is fatal to red squirell
-if you have trouble with grey squirell in your garden, or invading your attic, just smear your plastic bird feeders with chilli sauce (wild birds are not affected by chiili at all) and sprinkle cayenne pepper liberally on your attic floor

@galenwolf like Rats, a close relative, they are exquisitively sensitive to chiili, as my niece in London had
grey squirell invasion in attic
-the cayenne pepper plus very hot chilli powder got rid of them overnight
-they never came back!

Gotta love killing grey squirrels.
I think I’ll get a hunting licence some day and wipe them off people’s land. Its the right thing to do, the disease-spreading, red squirrel killing bastards. Screw the pussy ecocorperations, I’ll bring a whole new meaning to ecowarrior =P
Maybe I’ll even put it on YouTube and rip off FPSRussia a lot for teh lulz.

I bought an excellent xl squirrel trap made by Safeguard. After the trap was painted, I set it out under my birdfeeder. I use shelled peanuts as bait. I am up to 7 so far! I dispatch them in a water filled trash can. Freeze them so a friend can use them as fisher bait come November. LOVE TRAPPING SQUIRRELS

Yup, you got to trap them up. Too many of them.
