Every Sunday night I kick the husband off the big tv in the living room and stay up late binge watching a bunch of recorded series. I don’t watch a lot of television, but I am addicted to a few HBO, Starz and Showtime programs that my other half hates.
So Monday is the one morning I sleep past 5:00am… and I relish my extra 2 hours. But this Monday morning? I was woken by a noise.
Scratching. And banging. Then more scratching.
I grumbled, I stumbled, I got out of bed and I found this….

The red squirrel bitch from Hell. She had scaled the bush alongside the house and was scrambling up and down the screen, over and over. And then?
.
.
She just hung there.
Taunting me.

That bitch has got to go.

River's world..... 
Wow, she really has it in for you.

Try taping a photo of Trump (facing out) to your window. If that doesn’t scare the bitch away, nothing will.

I’m surprised you’ve lasted this long. Cage the bitch and take her to an old neighbor’s house. In NC. That you don’t like.

I’m with Boo, set a cage trap, then thrive her over the state line…..just a suggestion, lol.

Drive, not thrive, she’s already thriving if you ask me.

Squirrel cage traps on the roof are effective. We did that and never had a problem with a squirrel climbing the screens again. Don’t know where the little joker ended up, but I was happy to pay a guy to set the traps then take the troublemaker away.

I’m just afraid it would catch everyone else and not her. She’s pretty clever at evasion.

I would probably shoot it, but if you want to be more humane, a squirrel trap is under $30. Some of the birdseed she is stealing mashed into some peanut butter smeared on the ‘trigger’ plate should entice her … then take the trap over to a vegans house that is some miles away and turn the rodent loose ….

I mentioned you and your squirrel troubles on our podcast yesterday because I found out that Thursday is “National Squirrel Appreciation Day.” I’m guessing you won’t be celebrating? 🙂

Maybe, just maybe, if you treated her a little bit better you wouldn’t have ANY problems!!!

I have to laugh! I really think she likes you and wants a family. Does this bother your husband as much as it does, you?

He has to make all the repairs of her damage so basically I’m the only thing standing between her and a bullet.

I love our grey squirrels, of which we have few. They’re fat, cute, happy and go about their merry way peacefully. This little red bitch has burrowed into our cellar, nested in our eaves and attic, chewed through our barn walls as well as our wood shed walls, and given birth to a passel of progeny in our gutter. I’m no longer a fan.
