Trap Loan Scheme

Trap Loan Scheme

The RSSS Trap Loan Scheme began in 2000 to encourage and assist members of the public in their efforts to control grey squirrels on their property.  The Trap Loan Scheme offers traps and all necessary training and support to anyone wishing to help control grey squirrels and stem the spread of the Squirrelpox virus.  The testing of blood samples submitted by Trap Loan Scheme participants is a vital component of Southern Scotland’s Squirrelpox Surveillance Program
