That's a funny story. We have a wooded back yard and the squirrels drive us crazy. We keep having to buy new gas lines for our grill because the little !@#$%^&* chew holes in it. But why? They dig up my flower pots on the deck, every day I find a mess out there. We bought one of those faces you put on a tree and put it on a large tree that is at the corner of our deck. A squirrel ran to the edge to jump on the tree saw the face and which apparently scared him and he missed the tree and fell to the ground. We laughed so hard that day. They are used to "Woody" the tree face now. Next stop WalMart Sporting goods for a BB Gun. My DH has a blast with that thing! The squirrels around my house all have sore butts.
