I hate Squirrels

[e3mrk]

I spend about a hour carving this Pumpkin and cleaning up the mess,I set it outside and I dont think it was five minutes before the tree rats destroyed it.Now it looks like a toothless old man that threw up on My porch.
I hate Squirrels!.

I would like to but I already had to replace a patio door from a accident and dont want to buy another,They get expensive.

I think they are worse in urban areas. I live in a rural area and mostly people control them around here. I know my neighbors do because they have gardens and fruit trees. All of us own air rifles and I've thinned a few myself. I don't like shooting them for sport but I will lower the numbers from time to time when they get out of control.

In this part of the country Grey squirrels are an invasive species and make it extremely hard on native populations of Douglas squirrels to survive. Not the cute little fury critters that most claim them to be.

That's actually hilarious! I think the squirrels made it better!!!

Urban squirrels are little gangsters.

Here they knock on your door and say things like, "Nice place youse got here. Be a shame if anything...happened to it..."

I had made a pumpkin pie and set it on the outside AC unit to cool. My German Shepard ate all but one small morsel of it. I didn't know dogs liked pumpkin pie. Now here I find out squirrels like to et pumpkin also. Learn something new everyday.
When I was a kid there was a neighbor that fed the squirrels. That ended though when the squirrels got into his house down through his chimney and practically destroyed his house trying to get back out.

They're pretty good with gravy and biscuits.

I had a large Hickory tree just off my drive at my old place. Always a great attractant to tree rats.
One year in particular, not one nut hit the ground. Just dust.

Ma came home to a squirrel that had been trapped on a 2nd story window sill so it chewed through the screen and went on in.She called her boyfriend to come and help.Picture a pair of tough 85 year olds whompin that bugger with a broom [emoji38]
Wish I'd been there to film that!

Got a tree rat living under the hood of My truck for awhile. Ate up the wiring. Cost over $1500 to get it fixed. Now I use rat traps(the spring kind) with nails up through the bottom and very sharp. When it springs it drives the little&%^%$#$$@ down onto the nails. Removed 4 so far, but no more chewed up stuff. Just have to be careful cocking it. Really hurts when it slips.

Those rotten gray bandits chew the apples off our tree before they are ripe just to take one bite and leave them on the ground.
One gets in our pine tree and throws pine cones down at my dogs, driving them nuts.

I loath chipmunks even more! Used to pop them with my RWS 34 or Beeman P-1 pellet guns, but I have a super nosy tattletale neighbor who calls the cops on me. Overrun by the little striped rodents. I started trapping them and the neighbor stole my traps.

I have a running battle with them over my pecans,they move in faster than I can pump up my pellet rifle! Before my dogs got old I got more pecans than I could use ,now I am lucky to get any!

I love squirrels! especially in a stew pot. Seriously tho, I shoot every one of those little fur balls that come onto my place. I have finally planted enough fruit and nut trees and got the squirrel population down enough that I actually get to eat some homegrown fruit.

I would have like to heard what the squirrel told his buddies about it later that night at the Oak Tree Bar over an acorn micro-brew.

PS. Anyone seen that Geico commercial with the Raccoons raiding the garbage cans? Pretty funny. Whoever does those Geico Commericals is a genius.

Sorry tree rats destroyed the inside of my pop-up trailer.

Someone was feeding them, then left the campground for a few days. They started raiding campsites. Chewed threw the screen window, got into the food pantry, ate up everything, then crapped everywhere, because they couldn't figure the way out.

And, to add insult to injury, they chewed another hole in another part of the canvas to get out.

I get mad thinking about it!

I went to grad school at a University that was really proud of the oak grove on campus and the cute furry critters that lived there. I was there once in daylight (was night schooler) and was shocked at both the size and aggression of the gray squirrels. They'd darn near mug you for treats.

Cotton picking city kids and tourists feeding them created a serious nuisance. I heard later they had to get someone to thin the herd and there was much weeping and wailing over it.
