O.K. I've absolutely had it! Who can tell me how to get the #%&$# squirrel out of the attic???
call animal control for a ';live'; trap. So it can be set free somewhere else. They usually have them and will loan then out. Bait it with dried corn.O.K. I've absolutely had it! Who can tell me how to get the #%%26amp;$# squirrel out of the attic???
Lay a trail of nuts from the attic to the back door and out into the garden. Keep quiet and out of sight but have a camera running.
That's all I can think of.O.K. I've absolutely had it! Who can tell me how to get the #%%26amp;$# squirrel out of the attic???
LOL!
Maybe just leave a window open. I don't know
Good luck. : )))
(still chuckling)
buy a live trap put corn in it and catch him
find out where he got in and when he comes out to eat plug up the hole
use poison
get a pellet gun and shoot him
thats all i can think of good luck
lol ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah ha
heee heee wheeze
Call a pest control person. There are some who do not use the nasty chemicals. They should know what to do .....
best wishes, with your squirly problem,

I own a 675fps with a 9* 35 powered scope. Is this o.k to use at say 15ft or less for squirrel hunting?
First of all, if you need a scope at 15 feet, you better
get your eyes checked. Then again, I really doubt that you
can get within 15 feet by stalking a squirrel. Not unless the
squirrels aren't afraid of people.
What is 9* 35?
That doesn't make any sense.
Also, 675fps from what kind of gun?
Do you have a chronograph that tells you that you're gun is
actually shooting 675? Because if you're going by what the manufacturer states, it's wrong. Manufacturers ALWAYS
EXAGGERATES what their gun shoots, it's part of marketing.I own a 675fps with a 9* 35 powered scope. Is this o.k to use at say 15ft or less for squirrel hunting?
9*35 translates into ';9 by 35'; power of the scope
also 675 fps is not impossible and is actually kind of slow, with new pellet rifles clearing 1300fps
maybe people shouldn't answer a question if they don't know what they are talking about, i believe the term i am looking for is called ignorant
I own a 675fps with a 9* 35 powered scope. Is this o.k to use at say 15ft or less for squirrel hunting?
Why would you need a scope if your target is only 15 ft away? Sounds like you need a bit more target practice.
If it's legal in your local game regs to hunt them with an air rifle, use a good hunting pellet and it ought to do the trick at no further than that.
Fo sure
I don't think your gun is strong enough to kill a squirrel. Its a pellet gun, right?
actually i dont think so unless maybe u get it in the head and i still dont know about that cuz i have a 1000 fps pellet guns and it sometimes has trouble taking them ugle varmints out...

Do squirrels clean their acorns before eating them?
Yes. They store them away and often dirt and debris falls onto them. They are clever in cleaning and peeling away the outer shell of the acorns before indulging. Why do you ask?Do squirrels clean their acorns before eating them?

Must be Mexican Squirrels. Be nice to them and put a few torrtias around your plants.
my mom uses moth balls. you put them on the ground close to your peppers . it really works
hope this helped
Repel squirrels by mixing one half cup of Castor Oil and two gallons of water and using the solution to water your vegetables. The Castor Oil enriches the soil while simultaneously repulsing rodents.

Well I might like to have a pet female squirrel as long as she came with her own acorns. %26lt;grin%26gt;
Seriously now, how many single AND available women might like to pet a squirrel? Being nuts would be considered a bonus!Poll - Did you ever have a pet squirrel?
No but I have some friends who have two squirrels that live in there yard and they feed them all the time
No, but I want one. They're so cute!
When I was around 9 or 10, there was a squirrel that always hung around our backyard... we knew it was the same squirrel because it had missing hair on its tail... we named him ';Finnegan';.
Yes - my dad named it ';George Palm Tree'; because I found him under a palm tree in the front yard. He went on to perform at Universal Studios, Florida.
No but my dad had one when he was younger. He shot it and injured it by accident with a sling shot, then nursed it back to health and kept it.

No. I'd like to have a per chipmunk though. They are just too funny and too cute.

Help with squirrel?!?!?
A squirrel is in a tree in my back yard she has a nest there but she is
looking down the tree like a baby is down there i didn't see any babies
on the ground but i think there is if i find it what do i feed it???Help with squirrel?!?!?
if you find it, leave it.
you say the mother is looking, so she knows its there. she may well have even thrown it out of the nest if she sensed theres something wrong with it: weak and very unlikey to survive, deformed etc.
if you find it you could try putting it up near the nest (not in it, so you dont disturb the others).
its best not to even try hand rearing - its very difficult and often the animal dies any way. the mother is still there so you dont need to do anything. just let nature take its course.

if a squirrel stole my food...I would find it so hilarious..not a bit upset at all...If a squirrel runs off with your ...?
I wouldn't feel dumb Coz i am dumb!! lol
I never thought of it like that okay i'll stop chasin squirrels.
I'd be too lazy to run after the squirrel in the first place
First of all I wouldn't run after it i would just go make another one for me.
I would never chase a squirrel.
I will make another sandwich.
Who's afraid of a little squirrel slobber?
oh well no crying over spill milk
Ok...................
Hey, I like squirrels!!!
very. but then again. . .
u got a good workout, interacted with nature and can now sell a slightly damp but otherwise perfectly fine sandwish for about 5 dollars.
every cloud has a silver lining.
Sometimes, if the sandwich is squirrel, you just shoot the second one and you got another one for tomorrow. I don't mind eating squirrel that's been in a squirrels mouth.
alot.
ahaha..
ive done something like that before..
ohh i felt stupid..
Pretty bad.... I'd just let the little guy have it-- he must be really hungry to be bold enough to steal from a human.....
WHAT THE..........?
I wouldn't feel dumb. I'd feel ANGRY! HOW DARE THAT SQUIRREL TAKE MY SANDWHICH! WHAT? ACORNS AREN';T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU NUTRAT?!?!?! You would understand if you know what I've been through with squirrels...

How do u get rid of squirrels??
I have so many squirrels in the complex I live in. They're becoming a nuisance, especially with my flower pots. I don't want to kill them, just deter them from digging and eating my plants. Any suggestions?How do u get rid of squirrels??
SERIOUSLY....Sprinkle some Cayenne Red Pepper powder into your potted plants.(Available in small shaker containers at ANY Food Store..Works better than Black Pepper and will not harm your PLANTS!) The Squirrels don't like it, and it will stick to their feet.They will then try and lick it off , THEY WON'T LIKE THE TASTE!and they will run off avoiding your plants in the future. Doesn't harm them but works effectively to keep them away. I swear.This works.........How do u get rid of squirrels??
.22 rifle. Killin' 'em is the only way.
You do mean 4 legged squirrels, right?
rat poison....
Throw dogs at em.
Eat their brains.
*ah-haha*
No...there was a commercial one time on the television about that, actually. I think it was for OSH. So maybe if you go to OSH and ask them, they can help you. (Or possibly any other garden supply store: Home Depot, Lows, etc.)
Just let them have your nuts.
shoot them with a paintball gun it will cause them enough pain to leave but will not be permantly injured...and at risk from not getting best answer....and a good pun ';shoot them in the nuts
Just feed them well away from your pots. A few nuts every day will do. You can train all rodents - with food as the incentive. Lab rats are easy - they will kiss **** for a bit of chocolate!
Spray them with water when they're near your flower pots.
shoot them with a bb gun!
Contact Cam Pychel.
I love them darlings. Best you just shoo them away time to time. They might get the point.
If you have a bird feeder, take it out. The squirrels LOVE bird seed.
spray water at them with a hose!!! that what i do and my hole fam dose and they dont come back
Throw testicals at them.
You should get professionals to come out and take them away.
These pesky little buggers are a nuisance... water deters only momentarily, pepper makes me sneeze and poisoning them is out of the question.
The most humane way is get a small contraption they call a 'live trap' and bait it with nuts, bread and ears of dried corn ... all the goodies they love to eat. When they go inside the door drops shut on them trapping them inside the cage. Then throw the cage in your truck or trunk and do an animal 'witness relocation' thing on them. Drive out to some nice woods in the country or a park and release them. It may take a little longer to get all of them, but it does the trick. The tree rats are gone, your plants are in tact and your karma is good shape for not killing another living thing.
Coyote urine...don't laugh, you can get it at a feed store, Agway or similar. So far nobody's figured out how the guy collects it.

You can't deter them, They may look cute but their tree rats.
I recommend a .22 air rifle. A 12 gauge shotgun is definitely overkill and does unnecessary damage to the building..

Do you own a shotgun?
Invest in some ';quality squirrel management.';
...There was a sign by my house that said ';We support quality squirrel management.'; =D
yes, stop throwing peanuts out to them!
no seriously,i have no idea.
the same way you get rid of ppl (shoo shoo)
I had this happen at this time last year. Darn things were digging in my pots to bury the pecans. I used some Black pepper. I bought the large size at Sam's....sprinkled a heavy dose on top of dirt in pots....you need to repeat every 2 weeks. The pepper does not hurt your plants.

Has a squirrel....?
A squirrel came up to me and was just chillin'. It was crazy. Has that ever happened to anybody. It didn't attack me or anything. It was just there on my shoe. I wanted to pet it but I decided to let him/her be. :) That made my year!Has a squirrel....?
I put food out for the squirrels in my yard. One day I forgot to put the food out and the squirrel jumped on my screen door and started shaking it.
They also come up to me in my driveway. But since they are wild animals, I do not try to pet them.Has a squirrel....?
No he would have been after me nuts
Flys do that to me all the time.
No but that would be super cool!! I have had a raccoon eat Cheetos out of my hands before and left and then brought back his buddies when we were camping one time! LOL
Yes. They do that a lot. But DONT ever try to pet one.
Nope not that before. I did have one walk beside me. Like it was my pal or something. It was cool
Not a squirrel, but I have had a deer come up to me and sniff me. It's a cool, cool feeling.
Yup. Yesterday I also watched a squirrel get into my trash.
I put out food for the squirrels in my area every day. I especially like to feed them nuts from my hand. They are quite entertaining.
I'm stalked by a squirrel every day. I think it wants me dead... I think I may have run over his wife a few months ago and now he wants revenge.

To remember Squirrel...?
Put something in your name in his memory. Just to show he won't be forgotten.To remember Squirrel...?
That is sooo sweet man, but, I AM NOT DEAD!! I have reported this sick f^ck to Yahoo answers and I beg of you to do the same!! MY GOD!! I know I have ticked off some trolls, but this, this is SICK!! Thank you folks for the kind words, but again I must stress, I AM NOT DEAD!! Please report the SICK TWISTED F^CK who said I am!! :@)To remember Squirrel...?
I have been following these posts since 10 pm EDT. Truly I did not want to believe it.
Squirrel was a character who could make me chuckle more times than not when I read his answers. Although I did not know him personally except for the occasional email I really liked him.
Squirrel (Earl) was a faithful contributor who walked to his own beat and attempted to assist those who asked questions regarding LGBT in particular to those members who were confused about their orientation.
He was a ';Champion'; on this forum and will be missed.
You are so right David S.
For the benefit of those who don't recognize his forum name I have attached a link to his profile. You may recognize his avatar showing him holding his little girl.
RIP Squirrel @) (WELCOME BACK SQUIRREL) from Ontario, Canada
EDIT: Damn I should have listened to the little voice inside my head that was telling me this was not possible. To those I emailed what can I say but sorry EMD
My heart and prayers as well go out to his family and friends who love him dearly. Even I just joined, he seemed to be one of the coolest guys on LGBT and always made me laughed some of his answers that he posted on here.
Squirrel will never been forgotten by anyone on this foum.
I just lost a good online friend from another chat several days ago to cancer and I can related to that as well. I will keep everyone in his family and friends (online and real) in my prayers to stay strong for your friend.
Sure I just found out and it hurt my heart! I saw him on here allot even though i did not really know him and his answers would give me a smile... I am still in shock and disbelief but I just want to let you know i am with you to all of his friends and loved ones.
Edit
Oh my gosh thank goodness this is all a hoax! People should not be playing like that!!!
To Squirrel's family @@@
He was known all over the world. I am writing this now as I sit in my office in Taiwan, just off the coast of China.
I always loved reading his answers. He was a clever man. He will be missed in this forum.

Jack,as you see Squirrel is still here.Sorry you fell for it too! (((Jack)))
I can't believe somesickfuck would start a rumor about someone's death.This world is sofuckedup!!!

I'm so sorry to learn of this. My thoughts and prayers for Squirrel's memory and to his loved ones and to all the people here whose lives he so clearly touched... :(
Please tell me who he is?
But yes I'm sorry to hear that either way.

Have you ever felt threatened by a squirrel?
Yes, there was a right vicious bas*tard of a squirrel on our roof once and it kept sort of growling/shouting at me and running about as if it was going to leap off and attack me - everyone laughed but I was terrified!Have you ever felt threatened by a squirrel?
YesHave you ever felt threatened by a squirrel?
if it's the 6ft tall, shotgun holding variety. very scary!
Yes! It was over an acorn. It didn't end pretty and now the little b^stard is stalking me.
A squirrel stole my doughnut once. They are sneak thieves though, not muggers, so I didn't feel threatened...just hungry.
i was attacked by a squirrel the other day when i was on my way to work. it held me down and got stuck in about my nuts.
Yes - they frighten the bejesus out of me. And I'm not joking.
Rats with bushy tails - that's all they are. Yuck.
No way! I love squirrels. Thay can get quite tame once they get used to you.
We have a few that regularly visit our garden and share the birds' peanuts. They're very cute and friendly and interesting to watch.
Everyone should be nice to squirrels - or else!
No but I have been cornered by a frog once.
no, but they are some good eatin down in the haller..
This is crack up becuase i live in Australia. You guys must have a real problem over there huh!
Ever since seeing the new 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory' Film, I have nightmares about them!
Not threatened but I am at war with one in my garden. He keeps nicking my bird nuts ad lard balls! He sits in the tree taunting me.....I can see him now.....I will beat him!!!!
No, but my dog has every time she tries chasing one up a tree.
I was fixing a hole a squirrel made in a roof one summer. Everything was going fine while working away at the top of my 30 foot ladder leaned up against the 2 story house. All of a sudden an adult squirrel came bolting out of the hole directly in front of me and proceeded to jump onto part the ladder that was extending above me and then jumped and ran down my back!!!... continuing down the rest of the ladder without even saying pardon me!.
YES I FELT THREATENED! as I helplessly grasped the ladder for dear life, hoping the squirrel wouldn't bite me and I wouldn't fall to a pathetic squirrel induced death.
Yes, this is a true story :)
I think I just shot a couple.
only when they smile at me
Yes. Especially now they have formed an alliance with the badger people.
Drop-kick it into the next life mate.................
Not really. I often see them through the window on the telephone line while I'm on line. They go back a forth up the Palm Trees right here in the city in LA.
I Cr 13;8a
i try to run them over with my car every chance i get (the dirty little buggers)
Squirrels are beautiful. When I was five I fed one a bit of my ';Mars'; bar in one of the London parks. Please don't start a hate campaign against squirrels. x
it was an enormous squirrel, and it wanted to take away my nuts
i was out squirrel hunting one october day in the michigan huron forest , when i came upon a squirrel eatting a acorn on a tree branch , i took aim and fired , the squirrel jumped down and took off running to a diffrent tree as it ran across the ground , i shot again ,and the squirrel rolled in to a ballfor about 5 yards . then popped back up and took off up a tree, i watched as the squirrel ran thru the tree tops from one to the other , while a chased him from the ground fireing shot after shot , after a 10 min chase thru the wood as a reached for another shell i relized that i had shot all my shells at this squirrel, and as i looked back up at the squirrel and it was looking back at me , i looked at him he looked at me for a long min, then he went up the tree and started dropping acorns at me and cherping like they do , i headed out back towards my truck, as i walked i keep getting hit by acorns as i looked up at tree i see 20 or 30 squirrels scrambling thru the tops of the trees takeing turns dropping acorn on me and sticks, as i moved faster down the trail , the more and more squirrel , it was a squirrel ambush ,after makeing it to the road with my head bleeding from all acorn strikes i looked back in to the woods to see a small line of squirrels standing watching me and as i loaded into my truck i swear they flipped me the middle finger and ran back into the woods , i sold my gun and never went hunting again. squirrel are demons from hell stay away from them for your own safty
Billions of them back in Canada but hardly any here in Ireland.. No I don't feel threatened...
Yes they are always after my nuts
not at all, Ive never seen one :o(
i can't say i have no, usually they're quiet timid creatures aren't they? unless the ones near you are armed with machetes and machine guns? Jesus, then i would be intimidated. Arnold swarzsquirrel...
I tried catching one but i chased it away instead accidentally.
No never, there not threatning i would love to have one as a pet there so cute.
I was actually mugged by a gang of squirrels this summer. They got away with all my gobstopperseye concealer

Can anyone explain how Flying Squirrels evolved?
I can see how birds evolved, but what was the mechanics of something that just wanted some flappy skin so it could glide further? Do you think they will be birds in 100000's of years?
I don't want to fly, just glide a little.Can anyone explain how Flying Squirrels evolved?
The great thing about flying squirrels is that they are an excellent example of a transitional form.
Creationists often ask ';what use is half a wing';, hoping to prove that a creature couldn't evolve a wing as it would be useless for the thousands of generations before it became fully-formed. But flying squirrels are the counter-example - the flap of skin they use to glide with isn't a fully-formed wing, and yet it is useful for the squirrel.
To address your question, it's important to realise that it doesn't make sense to say something ';wanted'; anything. Evolution has no aim and no foresight. It simply acts on what happens.
In the case of the flying squirrels, to understand how they evolved you just have to think of normal squirrels leaping from tree to tree. Occasionally a squirrel is born with slightly more skin under its arms - probably it was hardly noticeable. And yet this tiny bit of skin gave the squirrel a very small advantage when leaping - it meant it could leap that bit further, or if it fell it was able to slow its descent just a tiny bit. And this was enough for squirrels with the extra skin to find a bit more food, or escape from predators a bit more easily. And that's all evolution requires - just a tiny advantage relative to the rest of the population.
So the squirrel with the extra skin reproduced, and its descendants were more successful than everyone else. Occasionally some of these descendants were themselves born with a bit more skin - and this made them in turn even more successful. And so on. Eventually we got the flying squirrels we have today.
It's impossible to predict what will happen in the future, but potentially the squirrels will continue to evolve in this way and develop true flight - in which case future scientists could look back at our squirrels and say that they were a transitional form. They won't be birds of course, since birds aren't descended from mammals. Maybe they will be more similar to bats - but they won't actually be bats, since we already have bats and they aren't descended from squirrels. They will be something new.Can anyone explain how Flying Squirrels evolved?
Industrial revolution? I mean you'd learn to fly PDQ if someone was cuttin down ya tree now wouldn't ya. lol
Sorry couldn't resist, good question.
Thank you Lord, finally someone who understands Evolution.

I would like to point out the importance of choosing a successful mate. In that all the good genes are more likely to accumulate in a beneficially changed animal.
And that those changes would be more likely (genetically) in that animals offspring.

squirrels migrated to a region were the trees were very tall the ones that fell or had climb up and down huge trees with little or no nuts probably died were as the ones that mutated to have flaps of skin did not have to waste valuable energy scurrying down large trees and going up another and would not fall as quickly or directly as the others.

I don't want to fly, just glide a little.Can anyone explain how Flying Squirrels evolved?
The great thing about flying squirrels is that they are an excellent example of a transitional form.
Creationists often ask ';what use is half a wing';, hoping to prove that a creature couldn't evolve a wing as it would be useless for the thousands of generations before it became fully-formed. But flying squirrels are the counter-example - the flap of skin they use to glide with isn't a fully-formed wing, and yet it is useful for the squirrel.
To address your question, it's important to realise that it doesn't make sense to say something ';wanted'; anything. Evolution has no aim and no foresight. It simply acts on what happens.
In the case of the flying squirrels, to understand how they evolved you just have to think of normal squirrels leaping from tree to tree. Occasionally a squirrel is born with slightly more skin under its arms - probably it was hardly noticeable. And yet this tiny bit of skin gave the squirrel a very small advantage when leaping - it meant it could leap that bit further, or if it fell it was able to slow its descent just a tiny bit. And this was enough for squirrels with the extra skin to find a bit more food, or escape from predators a bit more easily. And that's all evolution requires - just a tiny advantage relative to the rest of the population.
So the squirrel with the extra skin reproduced, and its descendants were more successful than everyone else. Occasionally some of these descendants were themselves born with a bit more skin - and this made them in turn even more successful. And so on. Eventually we got the flying squirrels we have today.
It's impossible to predict what will happen in the future, but potentially the squirrels will continue to evolve in this way and develop true flight - in which case future scientists could look back at our squirrels and say that they were a transitional form. They won't be birds of course, since birds aren't descended from mammals. Maybe they will be more similar to bats - but they won't actually be bats, since we already have bats and they aren't descended from squirrels. They will be something new.Can anyone explain how Flying Squirrels evolved?
Industrial revolution? I mean you'd learn to fly PDQ if someone was cuttin down ya tree now wouldn't ya. lol
Sorry couldn't resist, good question.
Thank you Lord, finally someone who understands Evolution.

SQUIRREL PANIC! Is there a way to save the squirrels and the trees?
There are a bunch of black squirrels in my neighborhood eating away at the bark of some trees. This results in the death of the trees, which are irreplaceable to our neighborhood. I have tried various sprays to keep the squirrels from the trees, but they have not worked. Many of my neighbors have set up traps, but don't know what to do once they have caught the squirrel except kill them. Is there a way to keep the trees and the squirrels alive? If not, what should we do with these trapped squirrels?
(one neighbor has tried driving the squirrel they caught 5 miles away, but the squirrel somehow came back)SQUIRREL PANIC! Is there a way to save the squirrels and the trees?
Typically the surrounding area would have enough nuts, beetles, worms, milli+centipedes, and other foods to feed them. Reading your situation, it seems to me that the squirrels are nearing the end of their food supply - and this could be a worsening problem because it's really just getting into early summertime (here in the northern hemisphere - I don't know where you are...), so food should be plentiful, shouldn't it?
Now I don't know that much about squirrel feeding habits, but what about the surrounding areas - is there enough out-of-tree food, enough of a sustainable environment around them - for them to feed?
Might there be an overpopulation problem? Are there more than usual this year? I'm thinking that it might not be a bad idea to hire a ';pest'; control group to capture them, if this is the case, and transport them to a large, more appealing forest further away - male and some females would be better. Maybe your neighbors can get together with a town representative and get financial help for them. The trees are, really, the goal - saving the trees?
Hey, just had another thought... Is there a predator (neighborhood or feral dogs or cats) on the ground that is forcing them to stay (and feed) in the trees. Hang out by the trees for a couple hours, (bring some food for the squirrels, too) and see what happens...SQUIRREL PANIC! Is there a way to save the squirrels and the trees?
eat the squirrel[ they are quiet tasty] and plant two trees for every one that needs replacing.tin around the tree will prevent them from climbing and keep feeders out of trees. the only other thing I can suggest is an exterminator but you know what they will do to the squirrels

There is A Orange Peel in My Backyard, do You Think a Gaay Squirrel Put it There, Why don't they Eat Peels?
Perhaps they don't find them - wait for it - a';peel';ing.
Thanks! I'll be here all week!There is A Orange Peel in My Backyard, do You Think a Gaay Squirrel Put it There, Why don't they Eat Peels?

It is said that these famous friends of Dorothy leave orange peels as treasure for young men -a treasure trail if you please!There is A Orange Peel in My Backyard, do You Think a Gaay Squirrel Put it There, Why don't they Eat Peels?
Squirrels eat peels. I suspect it's that mean old lady neighbour of yours. She's left it as some sort of coded message that you need to discover.
Just be thankful it wasn't a banana peel. You could have tripped harder, you know ;-)
squirrels eat orange peelings i have seen them
DID U CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS FRESH?
Because they were marking where they left their seed and wanted to find it back later - they are gaay squirrels you know....
I think the juice you drink with breakfast has fermented.
Maybe it's straight.

Squirrels attempting to invade the house, solutions/deterrents please people!?
We have a juvenile grey squirrel problem.
An ASBO's not an option as they're too quick and can't read, but joking apart the little blighters are attempting to invade and this morning I've had to chase one (or possibly two-they all look the same to me) off the kitchen window sill as they were half way in through the open window.
There is nothing edible out on the worktops and I've fastened a plastic bag to the window latch in a vain attempt to scare them off but there HAS to be a better way, not least as the whole house will look flipping ridiculous in the summer!
Hubby is all for getting some target practice in but I'm resisting that on humanitarian grounds (at least for the moment).
My main concern here is that they're disease ridden critters and seem totally unconcerned by my presence initially. My 2yr old thinks they're cute of course and my 1yr old has no idea what they are but if one got in......
...well I hate to think what could happen.
Any suggestions? Cheers!Squirrels attempting to invade the house, solutions/deterrents please people!?
Let Hubby get the target practice, just make him clean them!!! They make a pretty good meal when you fry them up!!!Squirrels attempting to invade the house, solutions/deterrents please people!?
I don't have a solution, but squirrels are known to like mental puzzles: perhaps a trail of rubik's cubes will keep them occupied...?
I would suggest first off that you close the windows. If that isn't a viable option, get a wire (not plastic) screen for your windows. A house pet (ideally a cat, but a small dog like a terrier would be good too. And the kids would like it. ) would help to deter the tree rats from wanting in your house. Remember the old Chip and Dale cartoons? Use that as a guideline for deterrents.
why not this...?

Uses ultrasonics.....
get an air rifle.
nahh, once he his hit he will only concentrate on escaping. a well placed shot will keep him on the ground.
i shot one on tuesday out of a tree next to our house but the little bugger ran off under out chicken shed. had to tip the whole shed over to get him out and finish him off.
cant stand squirrels. on monday morning, i counted 12 in the fields next to our house. gonna kill them all.
We have had this problem for two years. They were living in our chimney.... We tried a lot of things but I am afraid that your hubby's option was the only thing that eventually got rid of them.
Think of them as rats... and if you look at them closely most of them aren't the nice fluffy things you would expect but have mange etc.

Squirrel control: squirrels eating and spitting walnuts in my yard?
So I thought until today that the walnut tree was making the mess in my yard. It rained really hard last night, so I thought the rain caused the walnut tree to crap all over my backyard. WRONG!
There just so happened to be a pile of siding scrap under my walnut tree, waiting to be thrown out. The squirrels have been chowing down on the walnuts, and spitting ALL OVER the yard, including the trash. It is absolutely disgusting!
Cutting down the walnut tree is not an option right now, we're just too busy (and broke) to cut it down. Is there any cheap and easy ways to repel the squirrels from my yard?Squirrel control: squirrels eating and spitting walnuts in my yard?
Well we have tried a few things none of which worked,so good luck with that.We have them too and yes they make a mess with pine cones.At first I too was mad and frustrated but then I realized this is the first year I have seen this and then I am wondering why,as the squirrels have always been here.Well old folks tales are its going to be a bad fall and winter.So maybe you should take note of it and let the squirrels prepare for it.They are part of our world too.Just be careful to keep or repair any opening into your home fixed as they do like to visit.Squirrel control: squirrels eating and spitting walnuts in my yard?

Demon Squirrel (Kinda long)?
I never dreamed slowly cruising through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous! Studies have shown that motorcycling requires more decisions per second and more sheer data processing than nearly any other common activity or sport. The reactions and accurate decision making abilities needed have been likened to the reactions of fighter pilots! The consequences of bad decisions or poor situational awareness are pretty much the same for both groups too. Occasionally, as a rider I have caught myself starting to make bad or late decisions while riding. In flight training, my instructors called this being ';behind the power curve';. It is a mark of experience that when this begins to happen, the rider recognizes the situation, and more importantly, does something about it. A short break, a meal, or even a gas stop can set things right again as it gives the brain a chance to catch up. Good, accurate, and timely decisions are essential when riding a motorcycle, at least if you want to remain among the living. In short, the brain needs to keep up with the machine.
I had been banging around the roads of east Texas and as I headed back into Dallas, found myself in very heavy, high-speed traffic on the freeways. Normally, this is not a problem, I commute in these conditions daily, but suddenly I was nearly run down by a cage that decided it needed my lane more than I did. This is not normally a big deal either, as it happens around here often, but usually I can accurately predict which drivers are not paying attention and avoid them before we are even close. This one I missed seeing until it was nearly too late, and as I took evasive action I nearly broadsided another car that I was not even aware was there! Two bad decisions and insufficient situational awareness, all within seconds I was behind the power curve. Time to get off the freeway. I hit the next exit, and as I was in an area I knew pretty well, headed through a few big residential neighborhoods as a new route home. As I turned onto the nearly empty streets I opened the visor on my full-face helmet to help get some air. I figured some slow riding through the quiet surface streets would give me time to relax, think, and regain that ';edge'; so frequently required when riding. Little did I suspect...
As I passed an oncoming car, a brown furry missile shot out from under it and tumbled to a stop immediately in front of me. It was a squirrel, and must have been trying to run across the road when it encountered the car. I really was not going very fast, but there was no time to brake or avoid it, it was that close. I hate to run over animals and I really hate it on a motorcycle, but a squirrel should pose no danger to me. I barely had time to brace for the impact. Animal lovers never fear. Squirrels can take care of themselves! Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing the oncoming Valkyrie with steadfast resolve in his little beady eyes. His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt! I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, ';Banzai!'; or maybe, ';Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!'; as the leap was spectacular and he flew over the windshield and impacted me squarely in the chest. Instantly he set upon me. If I did not know better I would have sworn he brought twenty of his little buddies along for the attack. Snarling, hissing, and tearing at my clothes, he was a frenzy of activity. As I was dressed only in a light t-shirt, summer riding gloves, and jeans this was a bit of a cause for concern. This furry little tornado was doing some damage! Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and leather gloves puttering maybe 25mph down a quiet residential street and in the fight of his life with a squirrel. And losing. I grabbed for him with my left hand and managed to snag his tail. With all my strength I flung the evil rodent off the left of the bike, almost running into the right curb as I recoiled from the throw.
That should have done it. The matter should have ended right there. It really should have. The squirrel could have sailed into one of the pristinely kept yards and gone on about his business, and I could have headed home. No one would have been the wiser. But this was no ordinary squirrel. This was not even an ordinary pissed-off squirrel. This was an evil attack squirrel of death! Somehow he caught my gloved finger with one of his little hands, and with the force of the throw swung around and with a resounding thump and an amazing impact he landed square on my back and resumed his rather anti-social and extremely distracting activities. He also managed to take my left glove with him! The situation was not improved. Not improved at all. His attacks were continuing, and now I could not reach him. I was startled to say the least. The combination of the force of the throw, only having one hand (the throttle hand) on the handlebars, and my jerking back unfortunately put a healthy twist through my right hand and into the throttle. A healthy twist on the throttle of a Valkyrie can only have one result. Torque. This is what the Valkyrie is made for, and she is very, very good at it. The engine roared as the front wheel left the pavement. The squirrel screamed in anger. The Valkyrie screamed in ecstasy. I screamed in? Well just plain screamed.
Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a slightly squirrel torn t-shirt, and only one leather glove roaring at maybe 70mph and rapidly accelerating down a quiet residential street on one wheel and with a demonic squirrel on his back. The man and the squirrel are both screaming bloody murder. With the sudden acceleration I was forced to put my other hand back on the handlebars and try to get control of the bike. This was leaving the mutant squirrel to his own devices, but I really did not want to crash into somebody's tree, house, or parked car. Also, I had not yet figured out how to release the throttle; my brain was just simply overloaded. I did manage to mash the back brake, but it had little effect against the massive power of the big cruiser. About this time the squirrel decided that I was not paying sufficient attention to this very serious battle (maybe he is a Scottish attack squirrel of death), and he came around my neck and got IN my full- face helmet with me. As the faceplate closed partway and he began hissing in my face I am quite sure my screaming changed tone and intensity. It seemed to have little effect on the squirrel however. The rpm's on The Dragon maxed out (I was not concerned about shifting at the moment) and her front end started to drop. Now picture the large man on the huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a very ragged torn t-shirt, and wearing one leather glove roaring at probably 80mph, still on one wheel, with a large puffy squirrel s tail sticking out his mostly closed full-face helmet. By now the screams are probably getting a little hoarse. Finally I got the upper hand I managed to grab his tail again, pulled him out of my helmet, and slung him to the left as hard as I could. This time it worked sort-of.
Spectacularly sort-of, so to speak. Picture the scene. You are a cop. You and your partner have pulled off on a quiet residential street and parked with your windows down to do some paperwork. Suddenly a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser dressed in jeans, a torn t-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing one leather glove, moving at probably 80mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car. I heard screams. They weren't mine... I managed to get the big motorcycle under directional control and dropped the front wheel to the ground. I then used maximum braking and skidded to a stop in a cloud of tire smoke at the stop sign at a busy cross street.
I would have returned to fess up (and to get my glove back). I really would have. Really. But for two things. First, the cops did not seem interested or the slightest bit concerned about me at the moment. One of them was on his back in the front yard of the house they had been parked in front of and was rapidly crabbing backwards away from the patrol car. The other was standing in the street and was training a riot shotgun on the police cruiser. So the cops were not interested in me. They often insist to ';let the professionals handle it'; anyway.
That was one thing. The other? Well, I swear I could see the squirrel, standing in the back window of the patrol car among shredded and flying pieces of foam and upholstery, and shaking his little fist at me. I think he was shooting me the finger! That is one dangerous squirrel. And now he has a patrol car! I took a deep breath, turned on my turn-signal, made an easy right turn, and sedately left the neighborhood. As for my easy and slow drive home? Screw it.
Faced with choice of 80mph cars and inattentive drivers, or the evil, demonic, attack squirrel of death...I'll take my chances with the freeway. Every time. And I'll buy myself a new pair of gloves.Demon Squirrel (Kinda long)?
LOL. Well, I've heard a story like this before; and squirrels can be vicious little things! LOL.
Thanks for the laugh, and have a great day!Demon Squirrel (Kinda long)?
sounds like you met you match, and he destroyed your lovely drive home. but I did enjoy your story and your descriptions were very good, I said he but knowing some women, perhaps it was a female squirrel
first:that wasn't KINDA long, that was a NOVEL! (yeah, i know exajerations)
second:i only read the first couple of paragraphs as i got bored
so what happened in simpler words???
Ha!
Go, squirrel!
hey, acually read the whole thing! Poor you. Man all that trouble for a squirrel. Was that really u or just a story? that was cool! nice job lol! i especially like the ending. did u really wright the whole thing or did u copy and paste it from somewhere? if u wrote it, u are a great writer!!! i like the 'picture this' moments!!
Kinda Long??? I read War and Peace faster.........
WAY TOO F***ING LONG!!! I almost finished it.

Now picture the large man on the huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a very ragged torn t-shirt, and wearing one leather glove roaring at probably 80mph, still on one wheel, with a large puffy squirrel s tail sticking out his mostly closed full-face helmet. By now the screams are probably getting a little hoarse. Finally I got the upper hand I managed to grab his tail again, pulled him out of my helmet, and slung him to the left as hard as I could. This time it worked sort-of.
Spectacularly sort-of, so to speak. Picture the scene. You are a cop. You and your partner have pulled off on a quiet residential street and parked with your windows down to do some paperwork. Suddenly a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser dressed in jeans, a torn t-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing one leather glove, moving at probably 80mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car. I heard screams. They weren't mine... I managed to get the big motorcycle under directional control and dropped the front wheel to the ground. I then used maximum braking and skidded to a stop in a cloud of tire smoke at the stop sign at a busy cross street.
I would have returned to fess up (and to get my glove back). I really would have. Really. But for two things. First, the cops did not seem interested or the slightest bit concerned about me at the moment. One of them was on his back in the front yard of the house they had been parked in front of and was rapidly crabbing backwards away from the patrol car. The other was standing in the street and was training a riot shotgun on the police cruiser. So the cops were not interested in me. They often insist to ';let the professionals handle it'; anyway.
That was one thing. The other? Well, I swear I could see the squirrel, standing in the back window of the patrol car among shredded and flying pieces of foam and upholstery, and shaking his little fist at me. I think he was shooting me the finger! That is one dangerous squirrel. And now he has a patrol car! I took a deep breath, turned on my turn-signal, made an easy right turn, and sedately left the neighborhood. As for my easy and slow drive home? Screw it.
Faced with choice of 80mph cars and inattentive drivers, or the evil, demonic, attack squirrel of death...I'll take my chances with the freeway. Every time. And I'll buy myself a new pair of gloves.Demon Squirrel (Kinda long)?
LOL. Well, I've heard a story like this before; and squirrels can be vicious little things! LOL.
Thanks for the laugh, and have a great day!Demon Squirrel (Kinda long)?

Is there anyway to keep squirrels out of your garden?
Dogs. Our squirrels are running scared.
Some people put a fake goose in their garden to scare them off, too.Is there anyway to keep squirrels out of your garden?
Squirrels are determined critters, and they don't give up easily.
1. Suggest that you prevent them from getting into your bird feeder by attaching a piece of aluminum dryer vent pipe below the feeder on the pole. Attach the pipe with wire - snip the ends of the pipe both on the top as on the bottom about 2 -2 1/2 inches deep and bend these snipped ends inward. This prevents the squirrels from climbing up the pole into your feeder.
2. Have some kind of a catch plate below the feeder to prevent food from falling to the ground.
3. Check in a pet or feed store if there are sprays available for keeping squirrels away. They have these repellents for cats, dog and deer, and we had to use them all out here in the country.
4. For the winter you might want to put up a squirrel feeder with corn, and this way they might not go after your bird feeder so much.
Good luck.Is there anyway to keep squirrels out of your garden?
A Red Ryder BB gun works well! My dogs like to chase them also.
You can buy a spray to use around the perimeter. It's called doggy no or something like that. I think it's some kind of pepper spray.
feed them in a differnt location
Get a cat it helped me/
Yes, you can buy dried blood meal at the nursery...animals wont cross where they think a dead animal is...sprinkle lightly cause if it rains you must do it again...keeps rabbits out too.

Who knows anything about baby squirrels?
I JUST RESCUED AN ORPHANED BABY SQUIRREL
AND I'VE NEVER HAD TO RAISE ONE BEFORE IN
MY LIFE. I JUST WOULD LIKE SOME ADVISE %26amp;
TIPS ON IT FROM SOMEONE A LIL MORE EXPERIENCED THAN I.Who knows anything about baby squirrels?
1st: I found out apparently in my state you have 2 have some special license to handle orphaned wild life...whatever...I have raised 2 squirrels now and they are AWESOME :) 2nd: very important..they should not be fed Esbilac (a puppy formula) they should eat KMR (a kitten formula) or a goat milk formula if they are still nursing. Do a search to find out how old your baby is so you know how ofter you should feed..there are many sites with info that will also tell you how to transition from milk to solids and teach them to forage. The most important of all of it...you can not keep this baby forever, your job is to prepare them for life in the wild and from experience...they are so much happier! The squirrels I have raised do still come up to my glass door to say Hi, just no touching! Love them, good luck!
