Thanks!
I finally had enough last year - These mean rats with bushy tails would eat one bite out of a tomato and throw it down or worse throw them at me from high up in the trees... They also ate and destroyed $600 worth of wicker furniture on my deck!
Solution: Have-A-Heart traps. I bait them with peanut butter sandwiches. It took two years, but last week I caught my 17th squirrel and carried him off to a wild life management area on a local river. I am for now Squirrel Free and they are living in the land that flows with milk and honey....It's a Win-Win for everybody.
The traps are available on Amazon or at Tractor Supply.
