Hi Folks,
Holes in the lawn everwhere.
I would not spoil a native black or red squirrel, but the mistakenly imported greys own taken over everything, including gardens, greens, bowls lawns, etc.
I have an air rifle at the set for the vermin, but some say, as they look cute, it would be wrong to build a pie out the critters.
What to do ?

Let it be. Not pie. Stew.
No don't shoot them, the poor things. They are adorable and only doing what they know.How nearly instead of shooting give them another option close to black oil seeds, they love them, and if they enjoy a steady supply of them they won't be so gunghow on burying nuts.There are also humane traps you buy called, Have-a-heart, that you could catch them and relocate them. You would enjoy to stay on top of it and make sure you didnt give notice them in there extremely long. I use a shotgun personally.
get a big dog... that'l upset em off
Place a Holloblocks Call pest control...or animal.
Answers: Squirrels don't like moth balls. If you can put some around they will stay away as resourcefully as mice and moles. Just remember if it rains you will have to put out more. A cheap, uncomplicated and animal friendly fix! Remember...most of us were "imported"!
