....are starting in on their breeding season and this morning we had 8 of them in our oak tree tearing around trying to catch the one lone female. I shot her and a another male before the others got the hint and left. Pellet guns are handy for this. For the next month we'll be seeing squirrels smeared all over the street in front of us and the lone oak in the back yard will be a busy place. The damned things get in my bird feeders and stick stuff in my gardens I don't want there so every year right about now I wage war on those fuzzy suckers. I have a friend up the street that eats what I shoot so they don't really go to waste.
I've done the live trap and relocation thing but honestly the only thing a squirrel pays much attention to is a bang or a dead brethren fall from the tree....like a crow. I see a hole up on the truck where one has been going in and out of and I think it was this female. Now I have to wade in the snow with a ladder, hammer, nails and some wire fabric to put over the hole to keep any others from calling it home.
Anybody else have squirrel issues? How do you deal with them.
