it's against the law to release any that you have trapped. a lot of animal charities treat injured squirrel and break the law by realising them back into the wild.

 

I trapped 4 in the last few weeks in my parent's garden :)

 

a good tip for you all is not to tell girls that you shoot squirrels on a first date, for some reason they find it a turn off?

No legal obligation to control either although in the case of the rhododendron (which is a schedule 9 invasive plant) if you do nothing & it spreads to a neighbours land then they can take legal action against you & ultimately force you to control it. Unless it is on farmland & you receive a single farm payment in which case allowing an infestation of invasive non-native species results in financial penalties or possibly even the complete loss of the single farm payment.
