Hi All ,
I think Squirrels are cute but as already has been said , they are fine in their normal enviroment . However if its chewing electric wires there is a strong possibility of a fire !!! . FizzBombHeid you had no choice mate it was either the Squirrel or a dangerous house just waiting to catch fire !!! . If you had said it was a Rat i doubt people would be so upset but some reason a Squirrel every one goes AHHH your a murderer !!! ? . You do need to find out where it had got in , stop any future Rodent invasions .

regards
Mungo
