Everyone needs to get this in their head (IMHO), squirrels aren't Bambi's best friend like depicted by Disney, at all. My Father dubbed them correctly, "Tree Rats". That's right, "Epiphytic Gophers" or "Ground Challenged Gerbils"; it doesn't matter what you call em'! Kill 'em. .... What were we talkin' about?!?! Oh yeah, kill them varmints!!!!
Seriously, they're tree dwelling rodents, and most people would pay Hank's best friend to come kill any rodent anywhere near their house. Why would squirrels be any different?
Now I gotta work on those robotized, motion sensing poison dart guns to protect my CP's from those d++n Blue Jays stealing moss for nests!
