Torquemada 288 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Well for some reason the HSE has seen fit to approve warfarin for use on squirrels again. I really don't understand, squirrels are easy enough to catch why on earth is it needed??!! And I should add the only time I've ever seen warfarin used on squirrels in the past is by useless lazy fat c**t pest controllers who have no idea how to trap anything. Quote Link to post
DIDO.1 20,804 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I'm not fat, or lazy.....but I have got a pain in the arse squirrel that's got a date with a pile of grain Quote Link to post
Torquemada 288 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Well I meant no offence mate, but if you're able to get the squirrel to take the bait, any bait, then you should be able to put a trap around that bait in order to catch it. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post
DIDO.1 20,804 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Yes definitely. And once I would of caught it one way or another no problem. I'm just so busy now I don't or can't put the same effort into certain jobs. I often work out of area simply because I have to honour certain working relationships with certain companies, this can lead to driving long distances and always rushing, and a certain amount of lack of attention to detail. I am trying to change this though 1 Quote Link to post
LuckOrJudgement 437 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I'd be interested to see the label. I've never used it, but I can understand Forestry wanting it - if it's licensed for outdoors? Quote Link to post

I am trying to change this though I sympathise. I try and keep everything well within a 20 minute drive from home. That's great - until a valued local customer recommends you to their friend who lives on the wrong side of a distant town - completely effing your routine. Keep it close and keep it simple - that's my motto. Quote Link to post
Torquemada 288 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Indoors only. Totally pointless! Quote Link to post
LuckOrJudgement 437 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Unbelievable. KG and the like are happy to tout the CRRU - and then allow people to needlessly leave piles of this in attics etc. I don't get it. 1 Quote Link to post
Deker 3,450 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 It must be at least 12 years ago I last used warfarin for squirrels, live traps or Kanias are my main control these days with the odd few shot. Traps can be a pain but client input can help! Quote Link to post

Just checked my Emails and I have a one from KillGerm. Seems like it was them that got it back on sale but, like you say, only for indoor use. Killgerm are proud to welcome back Grey Squirrel Bait, after working hard with the HSE to get it successfully re-registered. Grey Squirrel Bait is available to order now! £28.95 1 × 10kg Quote Link to post

Torquemada 288 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think mostly its use-by the big nationals by people who don't have the skills or time to trap. That's the only way I can think that it's going to ever be used because let's face it goes if you know what you're about trapping squirrels is a piece of piss. Quote Link to post
DIDO.1 20,804 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Do the big companies use it as standard? Quote Link to post
