I can't take it anymore

[Elmer Fudge]

There is a squirrel that has decided to move in and set up house in my attic, what is the best way of persuading this pesky little varmint to go elsewhere?

Coyote ****. You can buy it on line and it really works. The squirrels were eating up the electrical insulation on my cars and someone told me to use coyote ****. Bought some and they left.

See the 'neighbors cat' post:<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=010501 <br /><br /><br />GET A TRAP!<br /><br />Or, a high-powered pellet gun. <br /><br />I also like the Tom cat idea. Just make sure the cat is a little phyco... it will need to be in order to take on a full size squirell!<br /><br /><br />H.

Like Homer Said - Talk to Real Poor. He's got a couple of cats I'm sure he'd give ya! <br /><br /><br />My buddy had a flying squirrel move into his condo. He got him with a live trap with peanut butter inside.

Try a 12 guage and some drywall spackle. At least it'll be fun.

Present him with a tax bill.<br />Then tell him of the tax credit that is available to residents on the other side of the street.

I sprayed it around on the ground where I parked and have not had a problem.

Coyote ****: how bad does it smell? i.e., about what is the range within which it smells noxious to a person? Wondering if I put some on the outside eaves of my house if the smell would be strong enough to go through the vents and be noticible inside...<br /><br />I've used live traps in the past, worked ok.

You can smell the stuff. You probable be ok as long as you did not go crazy with the stuff.

Try elephant ****, I understand squirrels are scared to death of elephants.

Trap him, I use peanut butter.<br />It 's best to humanily despose of it, or at least relocate which entails at least 5 miles and 1 or 2 major hyws in between you and the critter.<br /><br />Also where the critters enter the house must be fixed or you will have another family move in quickly.
