I finally buy travel trailer and the dam squirrels are eating it. Any suggesting on how to keep them out.

A very angry dog or cat works too.

My cat just brought me 2 full sized rabbits! The thing is nuts….I don’t even like cats. I ended up with one because my wife and I wanted to surprise my in-laws for Christmas with a cat. Long story short…after 3 days we ended up with the devil cat. Pretty much stays outside and hunts all day. Comes back in the house when I leave for work at 5:30am

I had a squirrel problem, they ate my plants in the front yard. I use black pepper everywhere – since then I never saw one again

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013Oct 9, 2014 4:29 PM CT

never heard of the black pepper trick that’s cool!

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Oct 26, 2014 4:16 AM CT

Solved the problem. Large rat trap with peanut butter. Little devil could not resist.

My granpa’s trick…mix half rapid cement and half yellow flour…they make 10 meters and became “hard rock squirrels”…sorry for the squirrels…

Yeah know I have to replace all the heating ducts, shore power line, and the port that the powerline goes into.

Talk about “cement shoes” Grand pa didn’t play

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Nov 6, 2014 11:15 PM CT

Neighborhood cat started coming around, squirrel numbers have dwindled.

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Nov 6, 2014 11:19 PM CT

I don’t even have to feed them.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Nov 7, 2014 12:14 AM CT

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Nov 7, 2014 3:58 AM CT

They do quite a bit a damage, quick to people’s homes.

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013Nov 7, 2014 12:27 PM CT

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Nov 7, 2014 1:32 PM CT

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Nov 7, 2014 8:34 PM CT

That’s sick claudio.

My parents use to have a lot of squirrels on the farm when I was a kid. Then my brother and I got paintball guns. The squirrels became a lot more skittish and it was amusing to see an orange squirrel running around (usually lasted until it rained). The overall squirrel density decreased quite a bit.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Nov 11, 2014 12:51 PM CT

haha nice 😀

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013Nov 11, 2014 1:17 PM CT

Man that sounds like it wa a lot of fun

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Nov 12, 2014 11:31 AM CT

Those dam things are like my wife’s pets, I can’t touch them but the cats can. Finally got the shore line fixed, know I just have to fix heating ducts.
