If grey squirrels are damaging your property or crops, you are allowed to trap and destroy them providing it is carried out in a legal and humane manner.  Transporting and releasing grey squirrels into another squirrel's area is not humane, it may spread diseases and it is against The Law!

Which Squirrel Trap to choose- Kill or Live Catch?

The Procull Squirrel Trap is a DEFRA approved humane kill trap that can be used on the ground and vertically on a tree.  It has been designed with both the novice and professional trapper in mind who may be concerned about their ability to quickly and humanely dispatch these animals.  The Procull has been officially tested and conforms with the latest World Humane Trapping Standards requirements  and is made in the UK.

In gardens, parks and woodland, and particularly areas where the protected native Red Squirrels are present, the tree mountable humane live catch Elgeeco Squirrel Trap and Bird Feeder is a preferred choice.  See also Refuge Cage
