I have a hard time believing there are 2.5 million grey squirrels in Britain. I've killed that many myself. Well, almost that many. I used to live in a house with two nice pecan trees. In a good year I'd get six or seven hundred pounds of nuts. If you didn't shoot squirrels you got nothing. One day I shot twenty of them in fifteen minutes. I figured that would set them back for at least a couple of weeks. Fat chance. Two days later they were back in force. I shot them with a Beeman R1 5mm air rifle. Lots of luck eradicating them from Britain. What do you blast the tree rats with Tranter?
