Squirrel infestation, what do I do?
Discussion
I have a squirrel infestation problem in my loft that wants sorting, as the pesky little critters are keeping me awake at night!!
Anyone got any good ideas/experience?
so far, I have bought a trap (anyone know any good bait?) and I have a .22 airgun that I'm gonna use when they come into the garden.
animal rights my ar5e.

Harsh.
Get environmental health round with some poison if they are in the roof space, the 12 bore would make a hell of a mess of your roof felt, let alone scattering bits of squirel all over your insulation.
Get yourself some hollow point or round head pellets for the air rifle, if you go for the pointed ones they go straight through the dirty vermin.
happy shootin....

I was walking through a wood a couple of years back, and there was a rustle off to one side. I stopped, looked , but couldn't see anything. Then there was a little "thud" sound, followed by another rustle.
Then I saw them. A group of the fattest, roundest squirrels you've ever seen. I mean, they were almost rabbits! Another little thud, and I looked up to see a flurry of thin squirrels in the trees, knocking all the nuts off! The ones that were too fat to climb the trees were gathering the nuts up and hiding them!
Talk about teamwork!

Sounds more like the thin ones had done a time & motion study and concluded that it was more efficient to knock a whole load down at once then go & hide them, rather than scurry up & down the tree.
The fat ones had gone 1 stage further and concluded it was better to just sit still and poach the thin ones' supplies, thus cutting out ALL trips up & down the tree.
Do you know anyone with a Jack Russell, vicious squirrell eaters the lot of them?
er....hang on I'm sure there are bigger and more aggressive ones about....Here's a better one, look at him, his eyes just say "kill..kill..KILL"
Failing that hiring an Eagle, Buzzard or other bird of prey would put a serious downer on the Squirrels free liberty.
Ok, ok, shot the evil rodents.

Yep, a job for the pest control from your local council. Check for charges, some do and some don't.
Watch out for the varmits chewing your electric cables up there.
We had rats under our floor recently, pest controller done the deed before they damaged to much. Made a hole in our bloody wall tho which I had to lime mortar up.
Whats worse than rats in your house, apart from badgers shite.
