nobody taught the squurls how to use condoms

Ick. I do not envy you this little squirrelly nightmare.

and 4. Holy shit, Houston.... Holy mother of fuck.

Just wait until you catch a baby one, and it holds out its little paw to you with a sniffle and says, "Please, sir..."

the one this morning was growling at me. I didn't know squirrels growled.

ut o
They are pissed and coming to avenge the death of their mates.

I wonder if you are going to spend all fucking winter killing squirrels?
no really, ....It sounds like a nightmare.

What are your options?

I am not sure who/what I feel more sorry for.:(

You guys are probably at your wits end and if the little beasties are going to keep coming like lambs to the slaughter. ugg

Getting rid of one opened a whole can of worms! I can't imagine having to deal with this.

Nature abhors the squirrel-vacuum in your house.

You'll have to shut the valve, or else they'll keep coming.

this is not true.

The sites that I read said get them all BEFORE you close up the hole. Otherwise, they just make new holes.

I read somewhere that if you put some cat or dog fur down around the entrance they're using, they think there's a porential predator and it dissuades them from entering.


[eta] by which I think they meant cutting off a bit of hair, not skinning your pet :P

All those in the house already, or all in the area?
How do you know when you've got them all? - Doesn't seem awfully practical to me.

Maybe plug the hole with something easy to gnaw through? So new squirrels aren't attracted by the constant flow of nice, toasty air, but previous occupants can find their way to your trap with minimal additional damage.

Go further with Dana's suggestion -- move some cat litter box remains up to the attic (temporarily!) That might tell them there's a predator nearby... We got fewer chipmunks pooping on our porch after the dog pissed on the bushes nearby.

Just let the cats loose in the attic. ...oh wait, there's probably dodgy insulation that they shoukdn't come into contact with. scratch that.

Saw a reccomendation to fill the hole with newspaper once you think you got them all. Makes sense.
