getting rid of squirrels
I got the little roof rats in my cabin. Buggers chewed right through the T1-11. Besides traps, sound devices anyone know how to get rid of them? I thought of putting a picture of myself up but they probably would just bust their nutts laughing.

4/10 Shotgun works well for me. If they are in the cabin, perhaps a 22 short would be a little better choice.

Try mothballs. They got rid of skunks under my mom's house. Just scatter them around the cabin near where they get in.

My Dad used to use a 22. It would have worked had he been a better shot!

Yup, a 22 is guite effective. If you don't want to kill them personally, you can borrow a snake from someone. A python would be best, but about a fourfoot corn snake will work too. If you don't want to kill them at all, live traps are the only way I can think of. Another thing is you can taake a broom handle, tie little fixed loops to it with about 12 pound mono, and put birdseed at the bottom. They'll run down it, hit the loop, fall off, and break their necks. When you get the first one, don't do anything. More will run down, the hanging one doesn't bother them. Then, when you get the all, clean 'em and fry 'em, or, if you don't like the meat, use them for catfish bait. THe pole method is very humane, and it doesn't ruin any meat.

Someone here told me to put a plastic owl up to get rid of them...the lil critters dig up the onions in my garden and leave em lay, I replant and they will mess with them till they sprout...I was tilling up a new area for tomatoes and found a "stash" of about 3 dozen white onion bulbs, and 10 feet away I found another squirrell stash of tater starts that they had dug up and hid...

I had them in between the ceiling and the roof where I used to live. I killed about 15 of them and still never got them out. The Beeman .25 aur gun worked really well for this. |
