Grey squirrel

[Vultch]

I have a squirrel in my loft, found her last night it sounded like someone moving furniture...i went up and out she came from hiding, she then looked at me, walked up and touched my arm... no fear what so ever...
I don't think she can get out ...so how do i evict her....and is this a common occurance...

yours needing squirrel help

rat trap?

Hmmmm i would prefere not to injure her, but she needs to go...

Throw a lardge blanket over her, covering a wide area then you can ravle it up gently and carry it out. Advantage being the dark keeps it calm, and you dont get bitten

this sort...

Thanks gov... I'll try the blanket first

you realy do need to evict it and find where it came in and block it up, they can cause mayhem with wiring, lead and plastic pipes and lagging - worse than rats.
last nutkin I found in a loft had fallen into the cold water storage tank and turned into a bluey/green sort of gel...bout the same colour as the home owner when she realised she had been cleaning her teeth with that water!

We had one in our loft once made a nest in the corner of the roof so I put a camera up there (IR type to se in the dark) to watch it with the kids. BIG MISTAKE the dam thing chewed its way through all sorts of stuff mostly at night as well ! until one nightBANGproblem solved ! but had to rewire the bedroom lights after that.

Those SQUIRRELS are very Dangerous so be careful
We had one at a new build Supermarket that played dead, When approached it would attack people.

I was wrong not a squirrel

Last night i was drunk and the loft was dark. She appeared this morning in my kitchen and outside the house i have now found how she gets in and out. But its not a squirrel, its a ferrit a very tame one.. she sits on my lap and eats out of my hand. I live beside a zoo and i thought it was a red panda but taking some still pics to the zoo their expert reckons its a ferrit probably somebodys pet.
Now we are living together ....Do I need a prenup....

How can you mistake a GREY SQUIRREL with a RED PANDA.
Ferrets make nice Pets even though they smell a bit. You can get shampoo for them now or you can have its glands done at the Vets.

Well I am not an expert, but even some of the zoo staff had difficulty, a red panda does look very similar, their 'expert' made the final ID. the pics i took looked very similar to the pics of their red pandas.
