Grey squirrels were brought to Britain from North America. They are listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, which makes it illegal to release them or allow them to escape into the wild. If you trap a grey squirrel, you must not release it into the wild. Grey squirrels may be humanely dispatched.
If you are trapping grey squirrels in an area where red squirrels are present, you must take steps to ensure that red squirrels are not inadvertently trapped, and take appropriate bio-security measures to prevent the spread of disease from grey squirrels to reds.
