I Need to Kill Squirrels

[revbob]

They've taken over and they eat all my berries.

Beaneater as the resident professional on this board what's your weapon of choice?

I'm thinking a Crossman 760 (I had one as a kid and found it to be pretty effective.). I'm in somewhat of an urban setting so anything stronger than a bb/pellet gun is out of the question.

Get a Have-a-heart trap and a recycling bin. Set trap. Catch squirrel. Fill bin with water. Drop in trap. Drown squirrel. Repeat.

I used an air rifle too but it's a bit inhumane. If you only wing the guy he'll get away and die in the trees or bushes.

Get a greenhouse?

I am anxious to here your results.

My parents' yard is overrun with moles. Like, dozens upon dozens of tunnels...more every morning. My dad's tried the inhumane snap traps, but they're kind of a ripoff because the upper-level tunnels are only the ones they dig to trap food, not where the lairs are (they abandon the food tunnels at sight of foreign objects).

I've heard smoke bombs work well, but how do you find the fuckers' lairs? They supposedly dig them below the frost line, so that's at least a foot down.


Note: My dad's recuping from back surgery and my mom's got an asinine vermin phobia she won't man-up around, so that's probably gonna be me who has to KILLvan their whole yard...or at least those were the not-so-subtle hints they were dropping when I visited this weekend.

Try to suggest high-powered explosives that won't blow off my fucking hand or something, because I'm a menace to (especially) myself and others with fire or power tools.

Definitely not. Yet another reason not to do meth.

BBE I have yet to start on my anti-squirrel crusade. It will be a good month or so before the bushes/trees bare any fruit. Last year they got every single cherry. And they waited until they were just about ripe. I'm not sure I could do the drowning thing but it was suggested by another person as well, another suggested a relocation (no way).

I think I'll get the BB gun and go from there, I was a pretty good shot in my youth and 10 pumps on the old Crossman was pretty effective.

And I will not be building a greenhouse (I'd get fined for not having a building permit and then they'd ding me on property taxes as well, I've tried netting and a useless cat neither worked very well. The fuckers have no predators in this area.
