Messing with squirrels
Someone sent me a video of a back yard contraption intended to mess with squirrels, messing with squirrels. It’s pretty funny.

It occurred to me I have a pile of scrap dimensional lumber, a couple hundred feet of heavy nylon cord, tools, and most importantly, spare time. The back yard fence probably wouldn’t work out well because the back yard is the dog’s space and they’d probably avoid participating in my animal sadism.

Ideally I’d be able to watch while sitting on my front porch in the morning of afternoon. I have a half finished tiki bar and about 50 trees visible from my typical porch perch I can utilize and most importantly, a LOT of squirrels with which to mess.

Shoot me some ideas

I am currently in the middle of an Elmer Fudd level battle to keep squirrels out of my peach tree.

They run along the top of the back fence like a highway. I put 4" ducting soaked in oil across the top but they shimmy across it. I put bird spikes along the top of the fence but they crawl sideways along the edge of the top 2x4 board to get around them like a free climber. I clipped a sheet of plastic to the tree facing the fence. this seems to work so far. I think it freaks them out.

A .22 scoped break barrel pellet gun is the last option, but I can only do it when my family isn't home.

WRONG. Teach your children to murder squirrels or you are in dereliction of duty as a father.

We get them in the yard, but nothing too crazy. I think they have learned that my cats are ruthless. One of the squirrels got to close to the house and ****ed around and found out once.

Once they decide to get under the hood of your car, chew the wiring harness and fuel injection lines, you will no longer see them as cute. You will see them as the fuzzy tailed rat bastards they are. The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel.

This happened to my wife’s SUV. I have a pellet gun that is very effective.

Our yard squirrels are my friends, and I'm very upset right now. In the past two months, we've found two dead squirrels who didn't look unhealthy, and the other day I saw a squirrel that was obviously unhealthy. I don't know if someone is poisoning them or something, but they're ain't done nothin' to nobody and are just trying to live their best lives. We only have five trees on our property, so the squirrel population is not large, just three or four probably, and they're getting wiped out.

I asked the city if I could eliminate them; the response was that I could not kill them. Trap and relocate. Then on the next page, was a statement that animals that were relocated would typically starve. So, it's more human to trap, relocate, release and let them starve than to execute them humanely. Whut?

Vinegar will keep them from chewing on aluminum roof vents. Hopefully they move on to another gnaw toy before a rain washes it away

I dont think the game warden is going to be coming after you if you kill squirrels on your property.
