Would you agree that cats probably present a bigger issue as they’re a problem that covers more areas of the world (e.g. various small islands, Australia, Phillipenes, Bahamas)? Whereas burms have an intense impact on a smaller area? Don’t know a lot about American ecology so please correct if I’m wrong!

What species of squirrel is it that is in the Everglades? We’ve got a serious issue with invasive American grey squirrels out competing our native reds in the UK. Culling has been proven not massively cost effective, and no species specific contraception is available yet. Have there ever been any trapping and relocating of squirrels to America that you know of? Seems trapping squirrels and transporting them to America may be beneficial for both and therefore cost effective? Species specificity wouldn’t be an issue as the reds could just be rereleased, and wouldn’t take a whole lot of man power if they were multi catch traps. Although, not sure if they’ve been here so long now that gene issues may come into play.
