    The grey squirrel is classed as an invasive species in the UK, having largely driven out the native red squirrel from most areas. They can cause particular problems if they move into your property, for example your loft.

    1. Which of these are you NOT allowed to do, if you catch a grey squirrel?

    2. What does the RSPCA recommend you should do if you have a grey squirrel nest containing baby squirrels in your loft?

    3. There are two recognised humane methods of killing a squirrel caught in a trap: shooting and "cranial dispatch". What is the maximum number of blows to the squirrel's head permitted by law, if you are using cranial dispatch?
