Fucking Squirrels

[mister d]

In the fucking gutters. What are my options for removal and prevention?

Ladder and a garbage bag? Get gutter guards or those gutters shaped to keep shit out.

[L-Jam3]

Tiny condoms.

Dead, or are you just pissed that they're on your roof?


I'd say a ladder and some courage, or pay someone to clean the gutters and then trim your trees to prevent access and/or acorns from collecting in the gutters.

Gutter guards are great.

But if the squirrels can't get in the gutter, they may start ripping up shingles.

Vermin.

They're definitely alive and definitely freaking the one year old out. And I definitely don't have the courage for a ladder that high, especially with strong odds of something jumping out and scaring me and making me fall and die.

I'm on the rass train. Gotta get the gutters cleaned and trim the trees back. Also if you have any access wires into your roofline (our main cable line was connected to the house and not underground at my last home) you can sometimes put guards on them, but be careful if its a power line.

Can't spell "ALL ABOARD" without AB.

[P.D.X.]

Folk around these parts will wrap a section of the tree trunks in sheet metal, say 4 span high, which keeps them from climbing up the tree.

We have millions of squirrels around here. Lots of oaks, redwoods, etc. They drive my dog nuts. Nothing you can do about them. But, getting your gutters cleaned is an annual event. But, less because of the squirrels - more because of tree debris clogging things.

Yep. I'll be on my roof with the leaf blower this afternoon.

Day drinkin' again, eh?

[blundercrush]

Ah yes, the sole way I know I am from Eastern Washington. Get a 5+ gallon bucket (unless you have the really big squirrels, might need a bigger bucket). Fill it half way with water. Squirrel will come in to drink, fall in, drown because they can't climb out due to the slippery surface.

1. I can't actually kill anything.

2. Far too many anyway.

Should have moved to Westfield or Scotch Plains instead of Maple-wood.

I live in South Orange, dipshit.







(There are times where that word makes me laugh really hard.)

I found myself using it excessively very recently, like it somehow just replaced dumbass in my lexicon. Weird.

[mister d]

It perfectly toes the harsh|kidding line.

I had some running around in my attic a few years ago.

Rat poison.

Inside the attic makes some sense (except you have to make damned sure you find the corpses or they will stink.) Outside - you might kill a neighborhood cat or two, if they eat a contaminated mouse.

Bonus!

(I have an indoor/outdoor asshole/cat, for the record, so I don't actually agree with this.)
