I haven’t seen our nemesis …Momma red squirrel… for a few weeks now. This always makes me nervous, because when she disappears? I know she’s laying low, gathering her forces and plotting her next home invasion.
But after seeing this?

Maybe I need to rethink my strategy.

That is hilarious!

I cannot help it. I always cheer for the underdog, and for nature over human, every time. “GO, mama, go.!”

Please include your address with that comment. When she chews her way into your attic and has a litter or two… then we’ll talk.

Serves him right. That cage is “for the birds” — not squirrels.

And eating his way out doesn’t seem like an option..

Oh my, maybe you have been going about it the wrong way. Get yourself a cage and after you capture her, you and the hubs make your way to Nova Scotia and drop her off. Just a suggestion.

That sounds like a plan. But knowing her it may not be far enough..

Maybe bird feeders are going to have to start being made with escape hatches? Momma Red Squirrel likely is away partaking in military training and maneuvers right now, getting ready for her next visit.

What I really fear is her recruiting ability.

Okay we may be on to something here. This is going to sting a bit, but bear with me.
Momma Squirrel pigs out in the cage feeder and gets stuck.
As soon as you notice, take the large-ish cardboard box you acquired earlier and set the can of hot charcoal you recently prepared in one corner and the feeder containing the squirrel in the opposite corner.
Close the top of the box and allow an hour or so for the carbon monoxide to work its dark magic.
The result? A squirrel that ate an amazing feast, took a nap in a warm dark place and never awoke from its blissful slumber. That’s certainly better than being run over by a car and better by far than having its guts ripped out by the local wildlife. Be sure to put a brick or something in the box to set the charcoal on, so you don’t have a fire.

As much as I complain, I couldn’t. I’d rather just make our house uncomfortable enough so she moves on … instead of in.
