saharashadow 26 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 You realise of course that having caught them in a live trap, by law they must be despatched humanely. 1 Quote Link to post
myersbg 1,385 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I do a lot of grey control as a contractor , i have to use live trapping because of the reds, Albi make the best squirrel traps in my opinion and sensible money, all my traps are off the ground to prevent Badgers from wrecking them to get at the bait and the squirrels. 2 Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Kanias work particularly well but are very unforgiving. Other than that, live traps along the lines of above post and below, there are numerous variants. Peanut butter almost guaranteed in many areas! Quote Link to post
Welsh_red 4,628 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 have a look at BASC website and see if theirs a grey squirell trapping day course available in your area. Not to learn how to do it (its relitevly easy if u look online) but they did a trap loan scheme where they give u traps. i have albi and trapman live traps and their pretty much the same but the trapman has a full metal door so u can see from distance if its been sprung. also a good pair of trap combs to pin the squirel into a smaller space so its easier to shoot 1 Quote Link to post
PLEDGEY 495 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 If you don't want to buy a live cage trap you can make a seesaw trap. 5 Quote Link to post
