squirrel vs. speedster

i do not have a garage. i have a large two sided carport.
i came out the other day and there is this psycho squirrel just munching on my car cover. luckily he didnt attack the seats, rug or coco mats.
i am putting out a live trap and will take him on a one way trip far from here and release him.

BOB
A SQUIRREL IS JUST A RODENT WITH A FANCY TAIL
DUMP HIM

Put a 2nd amendment up his ass!

That's a bummer, Bob! Hope you can get rid of the varmints.

I have similar issues as well, Bob.
One of the rodents ate the plastic fuel line on my truck.
A local mechanic said to put Irish Spring soap shavings in and around the car. Seems the rodents can't stand the smell.

About every 2nd Spring I get one of those rodents trying to live at my place. 1st my dog will "tree" them. Then out comes my pellet rifle. I've never killed one but they always get the welcome message and soon "move" away.

They are smarter than the Duck that keeps flying in and shitting in my pool.....I throw ice cubes at him all the time, but he won't take the hint. I'm almost done being "Mr. Nice Guy"

You know how long it took to train a duck to fly into YOUR pool!

Terry - the French can't stand that smell either!! :-)

Get it in the live trap, then drown the little sucker!

You can't get them just with the trap, have to train them a little. Get started with some chum, peanut butter works, got my last one with bird seed.

Place the bait where you will locate the trap. When it disappears a couple of times, put the trap close to the bait, then place the bait in the trap.

Can take eight or ten days. 22 really works best...jus' sayn'

I should send my friend Larry over. Larry was hunting in Montana all day and had seen NOTHING. Coming back to camp, he saw a lone squirrel in a tree. He put the scope on that critter and squeezed off one round. He got that critter right square in the ass! Larry got himself a hollow squirrel with a furry coat for his effort.

Saw a "Gamo" air-rifle video on YouTube. Search the name plus "squirrel". More than one vid. Incredible power. Gamo has a web-site too: http://www.gamousa.com/

Nothin' a little Bobcat Piss can't handle. Keeps varmints away from the RV when camping too.

I use a Airsoft AEG. It shoots biodegradable plastic BB at about 300 feet per second. Not enough to wound, but they get the message real quick. It also shoots full auto at about 300 rounds per minute. I have given dance lessons to several of those rats with bushy tails.

the trap is set. this is his highway where i see him the most. have crunchy peanut butter inside with a smidge on the front to entice him in. it is supposed to rain next 2 days so that may be a problem.

I hear tell dem squirrels is pretty good eaten. I say fry em up!

Bob, you can make Jerky and sell it to Gerd. He loves it.

Bob,
Good for you. I admire your "catch and release" philosophy.

Bob,

I had a similar experience with a squirrel in our basement. We tried to scare him off with loud music and an air horn but he just ignored us. We then caught him in a live trap and transported him about two miles and released him in a park. Two days later he was back and in our closet munching on our clothes. We trapped him again and transported him about 15 miles, across two freeways and two rivers. It's been three years and he hasn't been back. Good luck!

PS

We took down the squirrel feeder.

I think he just wants to get into your engine compartment to have his turn on the wheel!

They like to eat the plastic coating on wiring harnesses too. Must make for a nice accent wall in their nest. Sure can cause a lot of costly damage.

Im with Slater "Gamo" will stop all the Chewimg.
Last year i had about 200 Peaches on my tree's that i had been tending to and they were ready to pic.
Well the fluffy Tailed rodents Cleaned my crop in 3day-and left me 10 eatable Peaches.
This year they will get the "Gamo"w/Scope and Lazer.
Extreme time's call for Extreme Actions.
I wont Go in to wireing harness on my C5/Z06 under the carpot with a car cover!--$700.00 engine harness.
TIME FOR THEM TO Payup.

Good luck with that.
We've got zillions of squirrels out here with all the pine trees, & a few have been eating the siding on our house. Of course they pick a spot 3 stories up on a part of the roof we can't see.

I've relocated over a dozen in the past year using a trap like that, & it's calmed down quite a bit. nasty little buggers.
(I'd rather use the .22 method, but my neighbors wouldn't appreciate it...)

Squirrel Away!!

That YouTube was a good one. Saw this one as well-kinda like batting practice. This one is high and inside...

(sound track cracked me up!)

got him today
Dusty suggested i drop him off in GERD'S neighborhood:)

What a great Idea, Gerd loves varments

JUST SEND HIM OVER IN THE CAGE AND ILL MAKE JERKEY OUT OF HIM

I have a squirrel (or something) hiding in my garage. Silly bugger is storing his peanut stash in one of my gumboots!

What was it from Christmas Vacation? Cousin Eddy used to eat squirrels but then he heard they were high in cholesteral.

My friend when I was a kid had a pet squirrel, a young one, and they kept it in their partially finished basement. Once I went to visit and the squirrel was out and it ran right up my pantleg. Inside. You never saw a guy get out of his pants that quick before! My friend and the others there, yep, most of his family were down there, laughed and laughed.

Another squirrel story..

I was at a buddies gas station/store in a small Indian village about 100 kms from here. We were talking outside, nice day, and a squirrel ran into the store and started running around. My friend chased him out and I asked what was up with that?

He said they started feeding the squirrels, thought they were cute, and then the squirrels started coming into the store. Still kind of cute. Then they started running around like they owned the place. But the real problems arised when they started running around on the cash register....pushing buttons as they ran around. My buddy could no longer possibly balance his cash at the end of the day. Since he had kids working for him and cash was king in this small community, he decided the squirrels had to go.

Pepper spray and squirrels ...and interesting mix ~

Good for you, Bob!
It's Earth Day today ... kill him tomorrow. ;)

Wow! That was quick, your foothill squirrels must be dumber than the flatlander farm squirls around here.

Congrats, don't forget to keep the trap set, there are more of 'em, count on it...A pun?

tough guy squirrel!

We used to have groundhogs living under our pool house. They kept getting back in after I plugged all their holes repeatedly. Finally bought a live trap and started transporting them at least 10 miles. Any less and they come back. Moved the parents and 4 kiddies that way. No longer live there, but a .22 would have been easier. They are all just rats with bushy tails!

Danny, we did the same thing. The kids got a kick out of feeding them in the live trap and then we would take 10 miles to some of our favorite people:)

My squirrels tend to munch on my house -- been using Deer-away spray these days (smells just like sh**) and so far so good. In years past they have munched on the rubber fuel line on my truck several times. The truck gets parked outside. My neighbor tells me they like brake lines too. Fuel lines keep you from going, and so no big harm done -- just a minor PITA to replace. Brake lines w/ holes in them would be a real bummer. 'Nuther neighbor caught and released a ground hog several times, then just shot him. I suppose you have to take them a REALLY far ways to get them properly lost.

I live in fear that a squirrel may get into the attic so I shoot 'em with my truusty 410 gauge shotgun whenever I see one on the roof or clinging to the stucco.

I am a tender hearted guy and don't even hunt here in Arkansas but dropping one of those little bastards is very satisfying. Do NOT tell my wife!)
