Re: Squirrels
 

I have been giving this problem a great deal of thought on your behalf Eric and have come up with an idea that might just work.

If Canada is like here the contraceptive pill is free, so get down to the clinic and get a few boxes, (if they are reluctant to supply, play the equal opportunities card) then grind them to a light powder and sprinkle the dust over the peanuts before putting them out, this over time should reduce the population.
Don't worry about the male squirrels eating these peanuts because if rumours are true they will develop female characteristics which will have the result of reducing the population even quicker.

Westendlass this may also work for your friends moles if she is prepared to find a large quantity of worms and coat them, (though what the long term effect will have on the worms, who knows? I don't suppose the pill has been tested on hermaphrodite's.

Saw one of the little red ratbags today, middle of the road & no idea which way he was going to go, so I was sat in the wagon holding up traffic until the little sod decided to scuttle off the road & up a tree. :)

There was always hoards of 'em (reds) at the camp site in Holland we used to stay at.

Squirrels
 

I see red squirrels in the middle of the road all the time along with red rabbits, red hedgehogs, I even saw a red badger the other day.

A great idea! But I do think, in order to better protect my plants, I should add ground up viagra to the mix ... if I do this, then they will be too busy screwing to worry about the plants. And, it's squirrel friendly ... the little critters will have a ball:D
