My cats would kill squirrels when I had a house and you'd find squirrel carcasses in the back yard under the bushes. They kept those buggers in check.imfreenow.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027918519497057203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31373465.post-77661638953723239972007-07-25T14:41:00.000-05:002007-07-25T14:41:00.000-05:00That reminds me of Christmas Vacation with Chevy C...That reminds me of Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase.imfreenow.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027918519497057203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31373465.post-67255933416422886902007-07-25T13:47:00.000-05:002007-07-25T13:47:00.000-05:00Well, that trauma certainly explains a lot about y...Well, that trauma certainly explains a lot about your current attitude. <BR/><BR/>We had a squirrel breach our perimeter once. I'm not sure how it got in, but I have a better idea of how it ended. I was coming downstairs in the morning and looked into the entry hall at the foot of the stairs. It appeared one of the girls had left a stuffed animal laying out. Instead, when I got down there, I discovered a squirrel with its throat neatly ripped out. Neither of our cats confessed, so I ended up giving both of them extra dessert that night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31373465.post-56834333946998924122007-07-25T09:59:00.000-05:002007-07-25T09:59:00.000-05:00I did a tour as the token Air Force guy on a small...I did a tour as the token Air Force guy on a small Navy base in Virginia a few years back. Base housing was nice, though small, with lots of beautiful hardwood trees complete with resident squirrel population. We didn't have any problems until one day when the car wouldn't start. Turns out that the nasty critters climbed up into the engine and chewed the starter wires. <BR/><BR/>About $80 later we were okay, but it happened again, and again. The filthy Navy rodents hit us four times in six weeks. The base wouldn't let us poison or shoot them for some reason. I finally went to a local sporting goods store and got a bottle of fox urine. A splash under the wheel wells did the trick and we never had another problem with them.<BR/><BR/>A word of warning, though. Fox urine is only slightly less persistent than skunk, so don't get it on your hands.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770486451576561065noreply@blogger.com
