Y'all call them squirrels up there . Down here we call them "Tree Rats" . I'll keep a sharper eye out for them zippers. Might have to get out the Deer Rifle for them.

Karlynn, any that wander into my dawg pen and commit suicide are usually swallowed whole by my male dawg. Burp !!!!!!

I agree with Marguerite that the other photos on that site are just about as funny. Thanks for the post.

May God Bless,

You use a deer rifle? Not me man, just scope up my .357.

I usually use a .22 rifle or a 12g shotgun if they are in a running mood. But the pistol idea is good. I'll have to dig out my Thompson Contender .357 Mag pistol I used when I shot Silhouette . Got the scope already mounted .

I'm afraid I am really going to have to get serious about those "Tree Rats" . They found a way into the attic this winter and WILL BE evicted and eliminated this summer . They didn't even offer to pay rent . Of course, I don't know the "Tree Rat" word for "RENT" . Don't care either .

We don't have a problem with the Tree Rats in our attic. That's because the darned raccoons have staked claim to it. We are always having to chase those roof-destroying, insulation-littering pests away from the house. You'd think that a 120 pound dog would help out. Nope!

Not unless them Dawgs can fly or climb trees !!!!!! As a matter of fact, I think one of my neighbors has a Coon Dawg for sale right now. Won't catch them, just let you know , and know , and know , and know , where they are until that dumb human following him takes the coon down with a shotgun. After slogging around all night in a swamp lost, wet and cold, I found out right quick "Coon Hunting" was not for this old boy. Sometimes it don't take no baseball bat . Good luck because they are hard to get rid of once they move in.

Ross and Danny - we lost our slingshot, so we just use the cat.

Danny, try mothballs in the attic if you can stand the smell. They deter all sorts of varmints, including snakes. or so my animal remover person says.

I think this little guy is a great mascot for the website (as long as he stays the heck away from my birdfeeder!) All you zipper-chested people are my superheroes!

I couldn't hit the side of the house with a slingshot .

Mothballs were one of the many suggestions I've received. But in my big old house it would take a truck load . Bought some stuff at HD during the fall (Keepaway or something like that) and sprayed the areas I could reach where they are coming in. I think they thought it was candy . Anyway, next time I went up to "finish them off" I heard "little ones" . Yea, I would kill one outside (no matter what size) but the thought of driving the "parents" out, sealing the holes and causing the "little ones" to starve to death didn't appeal to me (an old softee sometimes) . I found several websites with a lot of suggestions. I'm thinking about going up with one of those loud (I MEAN LOUD) airhorns used on boats, firing it off and driving them outside. Then I will tackle the holes they made. The war will begin soon.

Will keep the family informed .

Dude haven't you learned anything? You have seen the Geico commercial of the 2 tree rats causing an accident haven't you? Going to war with them is a lost cause. I'm tellin ya, they will prevail.

 

[hensylee]

"(Keepaway or something like that)"

I think this has the same properties as mothballs. or close.

I love that commercial. As a matter of fact, I think I've seen that same action in the trees around my house. Does that mean that it gives me more right to shoot them because they are "stars"? I know one thumbed his nose at me just yesterday. Another did something with a balled fist bent at the elbow. Just thought he was having a spasm, but now . And if you think about it, what does that mean with the curled up tail when they are facing away from you? Tree Rat talk, gotta love it.

This could turn into another "made for TV" movie like Bill Murray chasing that groundhog. Let the games begin .

I don't know if you have any black squirrels, but I have some of these that are using the utility lines as some sort of super highway to get from area to area. I'm just waiting for them to start chewing the wires.

Went and got the bottle. It was "Deer Off", Deer, Rabbit, and Squirrel Repellent. Seems like a large (pun intended) range of animals there. In other words, if we label it they will buy it. Gotta love the "Active Ingredients" list.

Putrecent whole egg solids - 0.7813%
Capsaicin and related Capsaicinoids - 0.0006%
Garlic - 0.0006%
OTHER INGREDIENTS - 99.2175% (WHAT--TAP WATER)

At least it doesn't smell as strong as mothballs. Of course, didn't seem to work either.

May God Bless,

awww. cute black squirrel!

awww. cute black squirrel!

Ross, we have squirrel highways on our telephone lines as well. I guess your squirrels must be smarter than our squirrels. Many, many times I see them feet up, dead on the road, having fallen OFF the wires. No reports of any smashed windshields from a falling squirrel but I wouldn't be surprised...

Our home faces a boulder wall at the foot of a grove of tall fir trees. It is a squirrel megalopolis! Last week I went out to gaze at a sudden heavy hail storm and noticed a squirrel just hauling a** down the sidewalk. He just leapt into the confines of his rock home. Pretty funny.

Another time there was a squirrel perched at the top of the highest rock, standing on his haunches like a prairie dog, screeching and turning his head and upper body from side to side. LIke a town crier! He/she was out there for hours! I fully expected several thousand squirrels to descend upon us...... Have no idea what that behavior was.
