I can tell you from my days as a meat eater some 3 decades ago, that squirrel is very tasty meat.

I'll take your word for that as I really don't feel like eating something I have caught in the loft...

Gary was that your last meat meal? I think I'd reconsider my life choices if I was eating squirrel.

Ha ha! No, not my last taste of meat, but it is very tasty. Up until the last WW it was a bit of a staple in the rural British diet.

I found the pretty small gap yesterday where the little baskets were getting in to the roof space and blocked it off with wads of twisted barbed wire. If I don't catch any more in the next day or so the problem is probably solved. Which means I can make some longer covers and set the traps down in the veg garden instead and start reducing the overall population. Will mean I get less of my crop dug up hopefully but don't tell Lady Poppy as she may not like me doing so...

Rodents ( grey squirrels are rodents like rats and mice, in fact squirrels should be renamed 'tree rats'), can get through surprising small gaps, a mouse can get through a gap as small as your little finger, some experts say a small as a biro barrel ).

Reducing the overall population of tree rats is my aim too, may get some of those traps.
