You could always teach the squirrels to explode...

Some photoes here.

Local red squirrels are not as friendly and they spend more time hiding on the trees, frankly they were not strong enough species to survive in mainland England, so they are now seeking refuge in Scotland
The situation has now reached a crisis point: there are only an estimated 160,000 red squirrels left in Britain, whereas there are more than 2 million grays. Without human intervention, reds could be gone from England in 10 years.

Russians, squirrels, killings.
Does NickyG know about this?

I remember a school pal of mine finding a rather poorly-looking squirrel, and, being a kindly lad, decided to take it home and look after it. Upon picking it up, it turned into a razor-clawed demonic psychopath, and ripped his arm to shreds.

We've just had a grey squirrel invasion and I've lined up a couple of shooting mates to perform a cull. Just waiting for the neighbours to go on holiday.

They're not native to the UK and they're eradicting the native red squirrel - which looks like it might disappear in the near future if their numbers aren't reduced significantly.
