delcecchi Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 live trap with some sunflower seeds like you feed birds. Once they are in the cage the possibilities are endless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ufatz Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Pure pepprmint oil is reputed to keep them out of boats, cars etc. Have used it past couple winters and it DOES seem to help. You can buy it on line. Be careful with it. I just sprinkle a bunch of it on small rags and toss in my boat, cars etc. at winter lay-up.

soldoncass Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I saw something once about what a guy did to "eliminate the problem". He trained them. Used dog food, I think, got them used to eating in a spot(say the top of a 5 gallon bucket), make sure they have to jump to get up there. After a time....shouldn't take long....remove the pail lid, and have 6-8 inches of water/anti-freeze in the bucket. It worked great for him. Otherwise a live trap should also work ....a few minutes under water, cleans the trap, and whatever is in it....or a tarp over the top, while your car exhaust is going under there keeps the blood down. Good luck getting that "body-building" squirrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
