Do they do any damage? I'd be a hippy and live with them!
Otherwise shoot em and get rid of the access so you don't get more. But they'll be waiting for you in the Bardo, man!!

Grey squirrels are indeed classed as vermin. You could trap them, but if you do it is then illegal to release them, they have to be humanely killed.

You could smoke them out steve. Just make sure your out of the house before you burn it down.

Yes. Little feckers. There's not much in my loft, but they are ripping up all the insulation and trashing cardboard boxes and stuff.
