... Naturally you'd also need use a UK TV set and game console as part of the circuit for the biggest effect...

And don't forget. You are doing it for the children. (not the squirrel.)

Squirrels are cute. That is all.

Yeah you wouldn't say that if you had a cornered squirrel stuffed up yer flue ready to fly at you with its rabid fangs frothing and claws ready to cling onto yer throat while it sinks its sharp fans into yer jugular

Would you.

I'd feed it some hazelnuts from the cupboard.

I then took them for a drive into the country and released them.
Problem solved.
An excellent suggestion. Clearly delivered, relevant, helpful and likely to succeed.

You haven't got the point of BE yet, have you?

Did they enjoy the drive? If so, they'll probably be back again.

Problem solved.

When I lived in the country, I'd trap skunks and raccoons and the like and drive them into town and release them. Problem solved.

This is a great thread! If he isn't gone yet you may have to get a livetrap from the humane society and haul him out, (as has been suggested). Or get another squirrel to help him plan his escape, and introduce him into the fireplace....

Awesome thread. Keep it going guys - I'm sure the OP won't mind keeping the squirrel a little longer?!
