Go away squirrel... Go away.

My wife recently started to put out bird feeders on our property. It turns out that the squirrels are eating all the seed from the non- squirrel proof feeders.

I modified this feeder and it works like a charm. Now the seed lasts for days instead of hours.

They'll come up with a work-around.   ;)

Squirrel Obstacle Course


You want to borrow my dog?  I am looking at the window at her, sleeping happily in front of a squirrel carcass.  Sigh...

Ultimate Squirrel Launching Compilation

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Paint the spikes with hot sauce regularly...Texas Pete's or Sriracha

or depending on your relative geography get a .22...

festoon the feeders with squirrel corpses tacked on to base to serve as a warning to the others
This is an insult to the Pez community

Squirrels are destructive vermin....bushy tailed make the beast with two backsing tree rats

you can give them a whole forest of acorns

and they will still venture over to your house and gnaw the shit out of it, chew up exposed beam ends

chew their way through your window screens to get inside and wreak havoc

chew their way into your attic and gnaw on all those tasty electrical wires (honey are you cooking or is something burning, I smell smoke?)

maintaining civilization is a bloody and savage endeavor

Fire, food and shelter are foundation elements of human civilization

anything that attacks or competes for the food and shelter pieces of human survival is what is called "fair game"

as for birds, they spread seed, avian flu and the right ones can sweeten the air with melody....

the wrong ones (pigeons, grackles etc) are wonderful things to look at

as you center the cross-hairs on them  :)

i stopped feeding the birds when bears started to attack the feeders

we had a bird make a nest on the corner of our house overlooking the patio
every freakin' day that bird hung out on my table and chairs, and covered them with bird poop
they needed to be scrubbed before each use

the deer around here travel in a herd of 10-15
they can eat everything in your yard in a day... ask me how i know

so i quess my point is that the squirrels don't bug me that much  ;D

One is an invasive species the other is a welcome guest.

+1 The holes in my soffit are a daily reminder to maintain my jihad against the furry tailed rats. >:( [evil] Damn their hides.

I stopped feeding the birds too for the same reasons.

Charlie, get one of these (cheap pump bb gun) and some pellets.



It's so entertaining........
