So I come home from Maine playing sailor boy and my wife tells me there is a squirrel in the garage. I've already got some D-Con out there for the mice and put a fresh box right near where it's setting up shop. Little bugger is way in the back on my shelves in my bike / car parts. I was thinking of having a buddy bring his pellet gun over and go hunting. Any other thoughts?
Simple, get a farm cat. There won't be a creature alive under 5#'s for a two acre radius around your house.
Bill Murray managed to mold a very realistic looking squirrel out of plastic explosives. Although he had little success in eradicating gophers with this technique, I suspect it just might work against actual squirrels.
I hate cats but somehow my wife has managed to end up with 3. BUT, those lil bastards are savages! Bugs, mice, anything that moves is gone! Accidentally let a bug in at night? It'll be gone in less than 5 minutes! So.... I guess they can stay around. Mine are all indoor though so outdoors is another issue.
Yeah!!! Let more squirrels the f@ck in! Turn your garage into a mother f@ckin' squirrelly Holiday Inn!
Yeah, cats are not an option with my wife. She'd want to shoot them also. I'll look into the Caddyshack method of extermination but not sure the wife will want to do that either.
Most critters do not like the smell of moth balls. Head to Walgreens or CVS, buy a box of Moth Balls, Spread liberally around garage. Squirrel will be gone in a few days. Find hole, patch so that they can't get back in, and then sweep up said moth balls. BTW: Moth Balls won't repel mice.
My buddy has the day off and he's going to go hunting in the garage. He said hunting is illegal within city limits, I told him to shut the garage door. The critter most likely got in while the wife was doing her gardening and had the door open.
