They've killed my potted sunflowers. I sat in the yard the other day and watched one of the annoying little creeps sneak up onto my porch and steal as many blossoms as he could carry. Guess he likes the seeds. After what he's already done to my birdhouse, now it's WAR. :P

No, I REALLY hate them. They killed an orchid, destroyed a head vase, destroyed a Mayan statue and opened my bird cage door and let the female finch out to escape to her certain death. She wasn't up to living in the wild.

I got a Havahart trap and captured seven of the little freaks and relocated them. I denuded my old apartment complex of squirrels. :D

A month ago I moved to a new place with a screened in porch. Bastards have a convenient little hole to get on my porch and one of them has gnawed off a few bars of my wooden bird cage to get to the bird food. The old Havahart got dusted off and in three days, two of the fockers got relocated (I drive them to work and let them go there). This place is crawling with squirrels but it will soon be squirrel free. One little bastard at a time! I daydream of hacking them to bits with a machete but I'm too kind-hearted to actually do that (really, I am!).

Go to Target and get yourself a Supersoaker. It is so gratifying to see one of them tumbling across the lawn like they were hit with a firehose! It doesn't hurt them but it humiliates them. And those cocky little bastards hate to be humiliated. They learn to stay away. In my new situation with the screened porch, the Supersoaker does little good, sad to say. I need another weapon. Is it legal to have a pet mongoose in the US?
