You're not a squirrel, you're a squirell. Big difference!

I loll'd

@ Lj: ok that does sound quite inconvenient :P Have you contacted pest control/extermination services? They can often offer non-lethal solutions.

I asked whether he was causing trouble, because I know very little about squirrels and whether or not they cause damage etc once inside the house. I realise for some people having a 'pest' squatting in their house is enough of a reason to get out the bb gun, but I wasn't sure if that was the case here' or if the squirrel was actually causing damage/trouble.

If he's chewing wires, the problem should eventually resolve itself. :shocking:

And hopefully the house won't burn along with it.

Why? It's a bushy tailed RAT. The only good thing about them is they don't do as much damage to your car as deer, when you run over them.

Never thought of that...does that really happen?

I'm sure it can happen. The little fucker has chewed through 2 wires to date. Fortunately there was no power to them. It's the storage section of my attic, and i have an extension cord running down the length of the inside of the ridge that connects a few strings of c9 christmas lights, an old wall sconce, and one of those clip on metal dish thingers they use for heat lamps. He chewed one of the extension cord, and shortened my c9 string. I don't think there is any loose powered wires up there...but my cable wires go through right where he had been getting in before.

I just invested $50+ in this.....

fucking thing. I'm not sayning I won't kill the bastard once I catch him, but this seemed more cost effective than buying a higher powered weapon, and probably putting my own eye out.

Hard to shoot your own eye out when your tongue is stuck to the flagpole, lj.
D-

All the time. Up here in the Toolies the FD tells me it accounts for about 70% of the fires we have.

I suppose the next thing you're going to tell me is that squirrel's don't know how too spell?

Squirrelz can haz cheezburgers.

Speaking of Chibbaguh Chibbaguh (No Coke, Pepsi)
My neighbor gives her squirrels the happy dispatch with a little potpourri made of sugar, cornmeal and plaster of Paris, all wrapped up in a little saran wrap sachet, tossed in the attic. They nom nom nom the P o P along with the sugar and cornmeal and then when they drink they beverage the plaster sets in they tummeh. They go to the clinic and usually never make it long enough to see the squirrel doctah.

What will you do with it after you trap it?

That sounds like a horrible way to die.

My bets on LJ driving 30 miles in the boondocks to let it go.

I don't know about Jinx. I keep waffling between benevolence and squirrel stew.
