We have had loads of foxes in Eltham for years, but the poxy squirrels have come now and are multiplying like made.
I love squirrels in other people gardens but not mine.
They dig up everywhere and are driving me mad.
I was thinking of getting a cage trap and catching them.
Then what to do with them?
en route to Boxhill yesterday i saw one squished by an SUV on the A25.
Not sure if that could work as a concerted method in keeping their numbers down though…
I have also heard you can buy squirrel burgers in Camden…
Could use this to catch them
And then drown them in my waterbutt
What a waste what with rising food prices when you so obviously have a barbecue!
We have a family of squirrels in our garden. The dad is called Cyril and mum is Cybil:D
EAT THEM ! im not kidding they are quite tasty ,eaten them a few times myself .
If they are greys shoot em and eat
The slogan on my bike number plate says ‘Squirrels, natures speed bumps’ 
have run and re-run over a couple in my short biking career :sick: Not sure I could help eradicate the squirrel population round your way in this manner though, would take ages!!
so it’s possibly TRUE that they sell them as burgers in Camden then?
don’t think i’ll be rushing to find out though
:hehe::hehe::laugh:
Okay - what is the best way to prepare them?
Squirrel kebabs sounds nice.
There’s loads in my garden, black ones as well as grey ones, the babies are just like kittens when they first come out of the trees, they run around in a mad frenzy then get scared and dart back up the tree, wait a few seconds then come down again.
How could you want to kill them ? :w00t:
Mince them up and make burgers ,
heres what mr(river cottage) whittingstall says.
I’ve eaten many squirrels, and they’re delicious, a bit like rabbit, really tasty. There’s a surprising amount of meat on the back legs of a squirrel. The young ones are very tender, while the older ones can be a bit tough, but they’re delicious in a nice stew. There are a lot of grey squirrels in this country that are shot and thrown away as vermin, which seems like a waste to me.
Make them someone else’s problem with the Squirrel Launcher:

Rats with bushy tails, that’s what they are 
I had one invade my loft a few years ago and you wouldn’t believe the mayhem it caused up there. Shredding boxes to make a nest and sh*tting everywhere. After I discovered how they were getting in (corroded grill in the eaves) a man came round and screwed in some external grills. Unfortunately one got trapped in, but no problem, it bit through a screw to get out. Their teeth are like bolt-cutters! :crazy:
That wasn’t the end of it though. The squirrel had gone but it left me with an infestation of maggots which kept dropping out of the ceiling followed by a plague of flies.
So you see they aren’t top in my poll of animals and the sooner they start culling the little barstewards the happier I’ll be.
Haha, I like that 
I usually give a little cheer if I see one splatted on the road :hehe:
Squirrels? You mean those cute little fluffy tailed woodland creatures that bound along without a care in the world and bury their nuts in warm soil?
Vermin?
We have squirrels in our garden. They may dig a few random holes but so do the foxes, badgers and hedgehogs. It’s really not a problem.
Too cute to be vermin. Too cute to be kebabs. Save the squirrel!
They dig up your flower bulbs, take a bite and throw them away, killing the bulbs.
Useful game for the dog to chase them down the garden - saves us kicking a football out there (for about 10 seconds anyway).
Hate em. Except in a stew (quite nice. Had it in a pub in the New Forest somewhere.)
