It all depends on the laws of your state. In my state (MI) you don't
need a license to hunt small game on your own land. Further, if an
animal is a pest it can be dealt with.


Hmm. Makes sense that the state would have facilities for relocating a
destructive deer or moose or even a mountain lion. They certainly do
it for alligators in Florida.*

So, call your state game and fish commission and demand they relocate
the pesky squirrel(s).

That's what your tax money if for (tell them)!

*Though not Louisiana. I recall an interview with the governor of
Louisiana when a reporter suggested that animal preservation activists
were opposed to an open hunting season on alligators.

"Well, son, they don't know nothin' 'bout gators! We's lip-deep in
gators down here! They's lined up on the side of the interstate just
a-waitin' for somebody to have a flat! You gimme the names of some of
them folks up in Massachusetts or wherever and I'll SEND 'em some
'gators. We's got lots!"


Most likely thing here is that the destructive animal would be killed.
A rare animal may be dealt with otherwise, but not necessarily.

Hi folks,

I have an unwanted visitor in my old house. The door of attic is
sealed off with concrete and wood, I can't get in unless I drill it
open.

Inside is no light just the wooden roof frame and some old wood lying
around.

Now something is running around. We have lots of squirrels here. And
it sounds like one. Running fast and suddenly stopping. It wakes me up
in the morning when I would like to sleep.

What should I do? Did you ever had a squirrel in your attic? How did
you get rid of it?

There are these battery operated rodent repellents. They make a
certain high pitched noise and the rodent allegedly runs off. Does
this work also with squirrels?

Thanks in advance. You advice is highly appreciated.

If you can throw some mothballs around up there he will soon vacate
and you wont be bothered.

Get a cat. Mine catches squirrels that are almost twice his size.

ABSOLUTE GENIUS IN ACTION!!!!!

The only thing that could improve it would be a nice brick or concrete
block wall for a landing zone!

Nothing like a hard landing for the squirelly curmudgeon.

Shoot, shove, shutup

Oh! When looking into this group I first saw a complaint of somewhone
about a woodchuck. Same tip for you: Read the description of a selb-
built smoke bomb at instructables.com. Basically a mixture of sugar
and saltpeter. Should smoke a lot - but beware of the smell!

Try it! Maybe you will be happy about having a squirrel. ;-)

That same credo is being applied here where the artificially imported otters
have absolutely stripped clean the Tellico River. It's heavily stocked during
the season but in the past, fishing was decent even in the off-season. Last
winter, by about January I couldn't chum any trout with anything I tried -
bread dough, corn, etc. The river was sterile. At the same time, the banks
were littered with dead trout that had only their brains and eyes eaten - an
otter hallmark. They kill fish even when they're not hungry, eat the tasty
part and waste the rest. But they sure do make good targets :-)

In this case, the creedo is "SKS"

Shoot, Kick, Shutup. That is, kick the carcass out into the river so it'll
float away and give the catfish and crawdads some fine eating.

Tip: CB caps in the .22 short format are almost silent when fired out of a .22
rifle. Even quieter than a pellet gun. All I hear is the hammer smacking the
firing pin and the bullet smacking home. Absolutely deadly to the otters.

Don't you have .22 long rifle sub-sonics over there? That's what I have
always used (here in Oz) with a baffle style silencer for small game (and
neighborhood cats) when I wanted to be quiet. BRNO Model 2 with a twelve
inch Billet Baffle silencer, makes no more noise than snapping your
fingers. The sound of the firing pin hitting the cartridge is louder that
the actual shot.

I mostly use it for shooting rabbits (so the sound of the shot doesn't
spook the rest of them) and for killing cats. I have an intense dislike of
cats that are allowed to roam free and kill wildlife. The irresponsible
idiots who own them need a good hard kick up the arse on a regular basis. I
put strong smelling cat treats, sardines, tuna etc., out in my yard and
shoot every cat that comes over my fence. Either that or I put the bait
food in a metal dish on a rubber mat and wire one side of a 240 volt mains
lead to it. They make more noise when I electrocute them though, much
better to shoot them - a clean head shot and they make no sound at all.

JD - in Oz.

Or even better .. rather than battling with an innocent creature you could have actually just sealed the hole!? The simplest solution is often the best ...
