anybody know how to make them jokers go away. they are in my mom in law's attic and even when sealing the holes they still get up there.


Can't think of much, except for an agile and hungry tomcat of course.  Despite their cute appearence, squirrels can be absolutely vicious when they want to be, especially if a mother squirrel is nesting young anywhere nearby.

Considered pests here, shot hundreds as a kid with my air-rifle, now just train cats to climb the rafters and let them do the work.

Why am I not in the least bit surprised at that proclamation.

It explains a lot though.

Indeed. The Amiga community has only dregs it seems at this point. Have i mentioned how much i enjoy hunting "accidents"?


Woodsy the red was tame except for seasonal snittiness.  She was a true delight.  Reds have a very bad rap here IMHO.
Sparky the Grey is far less civilized, but he's had various toxics exposures so he might be brain-damaged. I suspect most greys are more civil.  ;-)

As for ridding the attic of squirrels there's one sure-fire method that works and is prettty much free.  Time-tested and it really works.  But it's best to wait till spring or summer or *early* fall for it to be most efficacious.

0) Identify openings where the critters enter/leave through. Locate nest area if possible.

1) Leave the lights on.

2) Bring up a radio or boombox and play the most harsh music you can find.  Rap crap probably works as well as metal crap.

3) Leave an open jar (put a screen cover or mesh over the open top) filled with bleach and water.

Within a week the squirrels will relocate. You verify by checking the nest. When all babies have been moved by the mother, you can seal up the holes.

If you seal up the holes before all the squirrels are relocated you will be very sorry indeed.  A trapped squirrel will chew for all they're worth, causing you a LOT of damage.  So be patient.

  After you're pretty sure they're long gone put out a few food offerings. THEN only when food offerings no longer vanish is it safe to assume they're evacuated.  Then you seal those holes up good.  Real good.  And then look for more.  Tell-tale clues to whole locations can be found by looking for signs around the house.

Actually, metalman might be on to something here!

Take one of our little grey friends, gently killed and garnish with sage and oregano and tomato puree.  Wrap in foil and bake on a low heat for two hours.  

Et viola!  Serve with baby potatoes, peas and runner beans...  Mmm, sounds delicious!

Oh, and a chilled glass of white wine would b agreat accompaniment to the dish.

millions of kids kill small animals all the time. very few become serial killers. its like saying serial killers ate cerial when they were children.
ok maybe thats an exageration but im assuming you werent serious either.

i never killed any animals as a child except fish and they viciously bit the pet worms i was taking for a walk and ummm a swim.
Oh yeah?!?

 Serial killer traits:
Raised by a domineering, narcissistic mother, fascinated with fire starting, daydream compulsively about sadistic fantasies, sadistically killed dogs and cats.
