And now they're back. First it only poked its head out the hole in the wall. So to take care of this, my roomates put cardboard over the hole in the wall which of course didnt last very long. About an hour later I went upstairs and it was sitting on the couch. It ran away back into the hole fairly quickly.

To fix this problem i took the only objects nearby that I assumed the squirrel couldnt chew through. The objects are a piece of wood, a beer bottle, and metal mesh which was nailed into the wall. (See photo 1)

Photo 2 is my roomate sprucing up things, which includes a beer bottle at the top. This actually worked well. I heard the bottle fall and either hit or scare the squirrel away.


Photo 3 is the latest iteration.
It is now a trap as opposed to a wall.

Why is it a trap?

I walked into the kitchen about an hour ago and found the squirrel sitting in the sink. It took off before i had a chance to see where it went. I assumed it went back upstairs to exit out of the wall where it previously has come in before... but i was confused as to how it got in considering i nailed metal mesh to the wall.
Sure enough, the squirrel chewed out another 5 inches of wall to the left of the mesh.

So I dont have to worry about a squirrel eating my food while im not in the kitchen, we took a trap that our landlord put in the attic and placed it in front of the hole.

Heres hoping we catch him.

MBeggar: lord of the squirrels

Yeah! Stick it to those damn Grey Squirrels!

'Mon the Red Squirrel!

You need a squirrel stick to tame the evil ones.

Lest you want it to RUIN THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't he retrofit the banstick?

It looks like one of these...

Is it rabid?

By MBs luck....
Yes.

How the heck am i supposed to know?

I guess ill let it bite me and find out...

I'm surprised no one has said this yet. . .but.

EAT IT!

because eating squirrel is like eating dog, you just don't do it

We used to have a couch in our house that looked just like yours.

Ugh. Apparerntly not in these countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat

Well MBeggar, worst that can happen is a large needle going through the abdominal wall...

You'll notice all those so called "countries" are actually uncivilized sections of the world where brutish mongrels have banded together for survival. They hardly classify as people and are more like wild animals.

What the hell is wrong with eating dogs?

Hey I take that into offense Max. It's culture. A Hindu man can say the same thing about you eating a burger. Don't ever say something like that because I find it offending to call any human an animal.

---
Plus you should think twice by posting something offensive like that because some people on the forums might be of those races.

You shouldn't eat dogs.

My Hindu neighbor says you shouldn't eat In-n-Out.

FYI I don't eat dogs but I think its wrong to call someone a human a wild animal and uncivilized for doing so.

There's no logical reason why not. At least other than "Oh it's so cute and fuzzy and dogs are supposed to be man's best friend!"

Freelancer makes so much sense.

Well, it seems that eating dogs is looked down upon because dogs are considered more intelligent creatures, as opposed to the chicken and the cow.

Yes, like Switzerland.:rolleyes:

Dogs do not have cloven hooves, nor do they chew the cud, so to eat their flesh would be an abomination.

But what of pigs? They are generally considered more intelligent than dogs.

He probably meant "more affectionate" rather than "intelligent."

Actually you're right. More along the lines that the domesticated dog has become such a "family member" in our culture to the point that observing a different culture preparing dogs as food would seem upsetting. Of course, there is also the issue of how humane these places when it comes to killing dogs.

Do let us know if you catch it, and what you do to/with it.

shoot, if someone wants to cook it for my I'll give quirrel a try.

man everyone's always getting offended by one thing or another. i cant take it any more! om joining P.O.O.P.! "people offended by offended people"

I have a couple of Korean friends... never thought to ask them if they've eaten dog before.

I was talking to a Korean friend about her boyfriend back in Korea. Apparently they were so serious he had once bought her a dog.

I said "But isn't that like buying you dinner?"

Hmm...am I the only Asian here at Massassi?

No.

pommy

I would be Asian.

But I'm not. I tried to apply but they said I was too tall and too Jewish looking.

Apparantly, i'm the only one here who has actually eaten a squirrel before...

There's a reason why they invented Squirrel Season and it wasn't for squirrel skins.

Also, the big metal cage trap would work alot better with bait inside, tied to the...thing that makes it go off.

Being a tall Jew, I LOL'd.
