This is not good.

As you know, we have always had a resident red squirrel menace.

.

.

I’m sure this isn’t the original terror from years ago, but one of her numerous demon offspring.

She teases the cat, poops on the patio furniture…

.

.

Shreds the deck posts, excavates passages through the woodshed walls, chews holes in the man cave/Barn Mahal, burrows into the house eaves and builds nests everywhere to continue her accursed family.

I know this because…

We’re knee deep in the destructive little bastards right now.

Not good!

Not good at all….

  2. Aw, she’s cute, but I get what you mean…

    I saw a fat raccoon come out of my back deck area this morning as I strolled to my little cabin and wondered what destruction he caused back there. I feel ya!

    1. $80 at their site, the highly original squirrelinator.com. For what is essentially a box company, that URL isn’t exactly thinking outside the box. Which is good?

      No idea how good it is. The one I saw was empty in a land thick with squirrels.

    1. We have at least six regular greys. They ARE cute, and so far haven’t caused any problems. A couple are bold enough to stand right outside the kitchen, waiting for me to come out to feed them. They know too that the peanuts are kept in the garage and will follow me or sometimes run ahead. (One particular jackdaw dies this too)

      The two bolder ones are best pals with my cats. They sit side by side and the cats just let them get on with eating. The other day, before I put any food out, Lulu and one of the squirrels were greeting each other. They went nose to nose, then had a wee sniff of each others scent. Then sat down together till I got the peanuts!

      Really!

    2. I can’t poison.
      No matter how much I dislike them, I won’t.
      And yes, I’ve tried red pepper flakes, moth balls, essential oils, critter ridder spray … even coyote urine.
      Nothing works.

      1. Oh, I won’t do poison either. Terrible for the ecosystem–out here, you poison a rodent and the poison then kills the raptors, the coyotes, possibly your own pets. Absolutely not.

      4. Sorry about the eviction but all good things must come again… And I don’t mean to be rude BUT (as we say in south London, UK) your “red” squirrel looks awful grey to my eyes..
