Niamh Quinn, an advisor with South Coast Research and Extension Center, says that there is a number of lethal traps that can be used to get rid of tree squirrels. However, it is crucial to set them in a way that does not bear a risk of harming other animals.Controlling grey squirrels will provide much-needed support for Britain’s Songbirds, Native Red Squirrel, and Broadleaf Woodland.

The grey squirrel is recognised as being in the top worst 100 invasive pest species in the world by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). I set a trail of peanuts into the trap and then sprinkled some all around inside and out of it. The squirrel finds the door, pushes through and then is trapped without any complicated mechanism.I was willing to take that crop loss and move on until they took up residence in my wall the following week. A massive pile of insulation torn out of the house and a big hole in my wall is more than I’m willing to take.

The drey is dislodged by using long poles screwed together (rather like drain rods) and the occupants are controlled as they emerge. Using any type of poison baits to kill any species of tree squirrels is illegal. There are no registered toxicants that can be used in controlling these animals. You are not allowed to poison tree squirrels even when in the possession of a depredation permit. Your success is everyone’s success. If you have any questions or need any tips to keep efforts down and your success up, we’ll be happy to help.

Preventing squirrels getting into your property or damaging your trees
