Got to get me one of them traps for new tactics...there are 3 less at my feeders, too. Trouble is the female members in the house have sympathy for the furry tailed rats! |

I got a soft spot for them too...when I was a kid we had a couple of Pet Squirrels....my dad found 2 baby squirrels and brought them home. we fed them with eye droppers until they were big enough to eat nuts and such...then we let them go out in the yard. They used to come right up on our porch and we would hand feed them...it was pretty cool.
That being said...they can be a nuisance and you gotta do what you gotta do.....

a few years back at two of our buildings in Quincy the neighborhood squirrels learned to break into apartments for potato chips. They'd tear through the screen into the kitchen, ransack the place, then tear through a 2nd screen to make their escape. We set up a hav a heart at each building and would get a squirrel in each every morning and afternoon.
We had a rubbermade tote large enough to hold the trap. Fill it with water. Drop the squirrel filled trap in (we called it washing the squirrel - 'hey, give this a good wash'). It takes a minute, no noise or mess. We washed about 30 before the break in gene was culled from the pool.
If you let them go, even a couple of miles away, they will find their way back. And if they don't you have just made it someone else's problem.

Hell, animal control won't even remove numerous feral cats from an area. They (or some animal group) said they came around neighborhood, trapped the cats, spayed them, and let them go!
Firstly, they apparently missed at least one of each sex, seen kittens ( ) and secondly, using that strategy I have to put up with them through 9 lives, 8-10 yrs or whatever.  |

There are other, more fulfilling ways to kill than trapping them first.  |

If you ever wake up in the middle of the night and find your wife hovering over your face w/ a pillow......at least I'll understand why  |

You don't know the half of it. I'm surprised she hasn't poisoned me yet. With all her medical training, I'm sure she knows half a dozen ways to kill me and make it look like a medical condition or accident.
Wasn't trying to argue semantics with you, but the devil is in the details when it comes to how the law is written. |

I had one in my house a couple years ago, i grabbed the pellet gun and was going to take care of it. My 65 year old mom asked me to pump it up. One shot, right through the eye. She took care of three that day. They ate a hole through the window sill in a rarely used bedroom, that happened to be where mom and dad were sleeping.
