The FC talk of preferred and tested methods of control – What does this mean in reality?
A20.As part of the commitments laid out in this policy, the Forestry Commission will be disseminating advice and best practice on the humane and effective control of grey squirrel damage. Current control to prevent bark stripping damage is largely carried out with the targeted use of Warfarin bait in areas where there are no red squirrels or pine martens or through trapping. Any control methods require consistent approaches across local areas and between local landowners and woodland managers to make them work most effectively. The FC will be working with woodland managers to facilitate consistent approaches to ensure control efforts are correctly targeted. A copy of the current Advisory Note on grey squirrel control is available as part of the media pack. This is current until next year, when further updated guidance will be issued. This will take into account new European Commission guidelines on the use of Warfarin as a Plant Protection Product, which after April 2007 can only be us
