Re: squirrel zapper


Try here.

They have everything from poison and kill traps to fox urine to keep
em away along with lots of hints on squirrel proffing things.

Those nasty little things chewed a big hole through the roof of my
house and took up residence in the attic. While in there they chewed
through the wiring for the powered attic vent. Lucky they didn't burn
the house down. I fixed the hole and they chewed another hole and tore
up an attic vent to get back in. Don't tell me how cute and natual
they are, I don't want hear it. This time I put a motion detector that
sounds an old school bell and starts a strobe light up in the attic.
Now I wait for em to trigger it and shoot em with a BB gun when I see
em run off. A couple more weeks of this and they might get the hint
and I can fix everything again.
