Got a squirrel that's coming on my patio, and chewing up the patio furniture
cushions (stuffing), I have set out a live trap with peanut butter, but the
little shit is avoiding it..
Any suggestions, short of killing the damn thing,??? (but that is an idea)
Thanks in advance....

Our backyard squirrels love sunflower seeds and mesquite beans.

"She" is probably looking for nesting material. Have you got
something you could put out for her to use instead? Old raggy
towels or other rags? An old polyester-filled pillow you don't
use anymore?

I had a towel outside for my dogs to lay on. You should have
seen it after the squirrel tore it up! It was almost
unrecognizable!

Just put out crackers with peanut butter..........and a trail of sun flower
seeds, and pieces of polyester scattered around the patio...........Almost
looks like a buffet.
Thanks

If you're around -- one of those high-power squirt guns - they don't
like water in their faces!

cheers,
