Damn squirrels!

[Rose56]

I definitely could use her. Years ago one of my neighbors got tired of rats attacking his crop he's sit for hours with his 22 but those suckers never came out while he was lying in wait.

 

[Rose56]

I'll be sure to get some for next year's crop. I am also going to redesign the grow space.

Rodents like squirrels,rats,mice,gophers etc are allergic to peppermint put peppermint oil on cotton balls to deter them or put a lot of it in something they'll eat & they will die.

Use peanuts in the shell tied to the trigger of whatever trap you use.. I've found with fox squirrels a Victor rat trap is too small. They sprung it many times and I caught nothing. Pine squirrels are half the size though.. You may wanna do some quick research on squirrel trapping. It's pretty easy really.

Big rat traps with chunky peanut butter. They can't resist. Snap, problem solved.

My dad had squirrels in his attic. Got a Havahart trap and used peanuts for bait. He kept telling me how many squirrels he had caught and was over there one day just when he was about to check the trap. He came down from the attic smiling and saying he got another one…yep squirrel in trap. So I asked him where he releases them and he says out in the field by that tree. So he goes out and releases it and this squirrel makes a b-line right back to the house. I was laughing my ass off, he’d been catching the same squirrel over and over.

where i live shooting anything with a .22 would have probably have the piggies all in froth really fast. i'm about 99% sure they'd take the gun and me to jail and it's a 50/50 chance that the fucking SWAT team would be involved.

IME if you can shoot and you use the right stuff you can avoid some unneeded drama by staying small. a .177 is all you really need for a squirrel and they make stuff that get the job done ..... just hit the walmart



you can still get a ticket where i live for shooting an air rifle within 1/2 mile of a house but at least they aren't cuffing you.

i'm gonna grab some peppermint oil and spray the fence that the little fucks use like the autobahn ...... i'd be happier with them staying away than i am about having to go nuclear on them

...and I like squirrels, they are so cute

 

[Rose56]

I like that idea, Skeeterass peppermint won't be toxic if my dogs get into it.

 

[Rose56]

So now its time for the cure Despite the damage done from the squirrel for me this is an epic grow. There are thirty of these filled.

Man everyone's talking about death and killing and stuff.

If you kill that squirrel, write atleast a poem in it's memory. LOL

I'm glad you got that harvested though, how much longer did they have on them?

Human hair is said to be a good rodent repellent. Put it in some old pantyhose and tie to your fence. Pissing around your plants helps too.
My veggie garden was getting slammed by deer a few years ago and a mate suggested White Lighting the whole garden. I was skeptical at first but it worked great I was so impressed that I wrote about this experience for the local Steiner School newsletter and it made the front page. Got treated like a rock star for a couple of weeks

Its probably a red squirrel, fox squirrels are the ones that are good eats. Yeah those reds get in my walls of my house, chew holes through siding, scurry around at 730am. They are little fuckers.

One went for my tomatoes this year and would sit on the fence eating it dropping tomato bits all over my girls.

You have to commit to full scale genocide. Sooner the better before that little fucker starts breeding and passes on its taste for nuggets.

YUP! I had a problem with them last summer. I hate killing things I'm not going to eat but they were decimating my gated veg garden and I eventually had to use a rat trap.

I hear if you listen to death metal, think of your greatest anxiety, and watch youtube fight videos and then shadow box, then pee, that your piss will be more potent at deterring wildlife.

Actually it's just an intuitive theory I thought off the top head.

You trim any of that?

 

[Rose56]

Green Squall I do very little trimming because I make canna caps

 

[Rose56]

I could never kill anything truth be told. I am planning on moving my grown area between the oak tree branches and the fence they had easy access.

When they make you mad enough, try some homemade bait. Use a couple spoons of the following. Wheat flour to bind them up, sugar to keep them licking, baking soda to make them explode when the soda hits the stomach acid. I like to throw in some bird seed to attract them and mix in a spoon of peanut butter (with the water) to make it tasty. Stir in a very little water to make a thick paste and put it on the fence or where ever they run. After a few weeks more squirrels move in from the boondocks. At least I feel better. I have fed squirrels some old edibles and the squirrels tend to fall out of the tree. I have never had a stoner squirrel though.
