Never mind mice, what do you do about squirrels?

aggie... you know nothing about me. I have a great deal of compassion for animals. Do one.

Well Lynne you don't seem to be full of compassion yourself ! Read the OPs message , she doesn't want to kill squirrels , just keep them at bay .......... they are rodents after all and do untold damage in a roof space

If they’re greys I think the council can remove them - if they get into the house. We used to have them when we lived next to a wood. The population fluctuated. A good year would mean our cat would bring several home. Then they’d have a lean year without much natural food and the population would slump.

You live next to a small wooded area. Is it any wonder you have squirrels? They are invading your space?! Coming into your living room and taking up seats on the settee?!

You sound ridiculous and mean.

Unless they get into your house (roof included), what's the problem?

We seem to be inundated with them. Two more in the garden even as I type.
We live next to a small wooded area. There have always been squirrels but they have stayed on their side of the hedge. Now they are invading our space and we certainly don’t want them in the roof.
