Thats too bad - but I told ya. He MUST be relocated. Look at it from his/her perspective. Your attic is like the Taj Mahal compared to a bunch of twigs on a tree branch. Get a hav-a-heart, trp him and drop him off at RichL's place.

lumberjim · 01-19-2010, 10:01 AM

yeah...i'll relocate him to squirrely heaven.

now now - FSM's creatures and all that....
I have a BB gun with a scope if you need to use it

you gotta buy the pellets though - the shot just don't fly straight.

I recommend the one in the top right of this image.
It will NOT be pretty and the squirrel will most likely NOT die initially. It will be writhing in pain and screaming in agony. Just so you are prepared.

I prefer this:

classicman · 01-19-2010, 11:20 AM

from a BB gun? shooting in your yard? at a squirrel? possibly towards our house or other property/people?
Helloooooooooooo???????

lumberjim · 01-20-2010, 06:38 AM

This morning there is a very grisly looking squirrel road kill right in front of my house, ......and I wonder if I could be this lucky.

They have extended family. There is always a cus waiting in the tree next door to move into to your house.

is he actually causing any trouble in the attic?

yes, he is. or was hopefully.

shitting all over, messing up the insulation, i found a chewed wire, chewed up nutshells all strewn about, etc.

Wild parties, pot, alcohol, poker games...you need to put your foot down, jim, and make that damn squirrel get a job.

lookout123 · 01-20-2010, 09:10 AM

I think what Dana was getting at was, have you really taken the time to consider this from the squirrel's perspective? Being a rich white man who has had it easy his whole life you can't possibly understand the plight of the squirrel just trying to get by in this cold cruel world.

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.

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.

Are you suggesting a symbiotic living arrangement?
