We have squirrel problems and we had skunk problems under the house and I hear something moving around the bathtub now; husband thinks it's a possum.
Truly, (don't read if squimesh) a BB would work on squirrels?

One of my cousins lives in the middle of a woods, and was having problems with the squirrels eating the wiring in his car. An auto mechanic told him to get one of the electric "pest away" things that emits a high-frequency sound, and now they keep one under the hood of the car at all times when not in use. They swear it works. My mom had a problem with rats and mice in her garage and got a couple, and it worked. So, get a couple of these with some long extension cords and try it.

Yup, if you have good aim and a high-powered gun. My nephew will sit at the back door at night and watch rats run along the back fence (there is storage facility back there). That kid can kill one running with one shot!!!

ok, i've tried a bunch of things, and I'm at my wit's end. I will be calling around for humane traps tomorrow or Monday.
Look at what I found this morning :(
My garden USED to have perfectly layed out mulch...

OH NO! I hope you fix your problem real quick! Well I did a little research and it says 2009 is a BIG Boom year for squirrels.
WAIT! Maybe if they chew on electric cords it will zap them a little and get them outta there! :D Just a suggstion! :lol:
