a field of wheat in seconds. Like bloody locusts they are.

Bastards.

No, I see what you're saying - are they a farm pest? - and I'd say no, they're not (unless you farm hazelnuts).

"Both red and grey squirrels do damage to woodlands, particularly through stripping bark from trees to get at the sap, but with increasing conservation awareness, foresters have come to tolerate the native species. The immigrant grey, however is regarded in a very different light and marked down as an unwelcome pest."

Seems it's a bit of racism/patriotism that's gotten them greys marked as a pest.
