There is limited information on the frequency of non-target
captures during grey squirrel control operations in Europe.
We present data from four control programmes and
highlight the need for greater assessment of the negative
impacts on a range of avian and mammalian species. The
risk of inter-specific infection is investigated and
opportunities to minimise non-target capture in both live-
capture trap and kill-trap designs are explored.
