Simple solution here: Red squirrels should never have have accepted that 'gift' of new blankets from the Grey colonials
On the plus side, Greys are classed as vermin under UK law so you can shoot them at any time of the year you like
Greys are bigger and more aggressive and voracious foragers, they breed faster too. The cheeky little buggers are pretty adept when it comes to food - our bird feeder in the garden is frequently ransacked by some chittering little chap who seems quite taken with what's on offer to the birds and thinks nothing of it to steal the entire mesh bag! lol.
Find a niche and exploit it seems to be the grey squirrel motto...:hmm:

LOL I was going to suggest red spray paint but I like your idea better.

Those British Squirrels are different that our squirrels here across the pond.

Here in the USA the Fox squirrels are red squirrels and they are larger and more agressive than our gray squirrels. We have some other squirrels out west but I am not that familar with those as I live in the Midwest. Here in Indiana we have two species of squirrels. Fox and Gray.

Can I have a "Thanks a bunch England" thread for all the introduced species into my country that have created so many problems for our native flaura and fauna. And when I refer to introduced species I'm not talking about the English who emigrate to Australia only to whinge and complain about how hot it is and how crummy the beer is.
