gently caress Red Squirrels, seriously they are the cunts of the rodent world and there's nothing redeeming about them except sometimes being cute. Story time. I have a lot of squirrels in my yard, mostly gray, because I have a black walnut tree (gently caress these trees too btw, I'm cutting it down next year). Now I have a family of these poo poo head red squirrels living under my shed.These fucksticks rip up my grass, run up a tree and attempt to build a nest in the tree, but then flip the gently caress out and TEAR UP THEIR OWN NEST, dropping all the grass on my shingles. Not only are they cunts, but they are BI POLAR. They also chase all the cute, somewhat innocent gray squirrels away so my dog has nothing to chase but a lovely tennis ball. So I caught one of these assholes last night in a live trap using a chocolate chip Teddy Graham dipped in peanut butter. I was ready to drop this furry nightmare in a 5 gallon bucket of water, or put a pellet through his bi polar brain…then he looked at me right in the eye. I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t end the life of this grass tearing, gray squirrel terrorizing shithead. I let him go and he proceeded to go back to his home under my shed and is probably loving up some gray squirrels or tearing up my shingles as we speak. gently caress. |

since humans are the most invasive species of all i think you should check your invasiveness privilege |

Although actually the question is pretty controversial. Unlike the clear-cut red squirrel issue. |

also this point:quote:2) An invasive species has to be a non-native: Humans had colonized every continent but Antarctica by about 15,000 years ago. Sure, we've done some rearranging of populations since then and had an explosion in population size, but we're a native species. is bogus just because we got our invasiveness on a long time ago doesn't mean we weren't invasive GODDAMMIT SMITHSONIAN GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER |

I saw an albino squirrel the other day on a bike ride and went to take a picture of it as it climbed a tree. Circled around the tree and it was gone. Perhaps it was a phantom squirrel who was not shown the same mercy the OP showed this day. Thanks for not creating more albino squirrels. |

Auron posted:Not only are they cunts, but they are BI POLAR. They also chase all the cute, somewhat innocent gray squirrels away so my dog has nothing to chase but a lovely tennis ball. there is an old MGM cartoon called Screwy Squirrel by Tex Avery. Violent and hysterically funny. In the opening scene, a cute little Disneyesque gray squirrel is gaily traipsing along gathering nuts until he encounters Screwy Squirrel- a much larger red squirrel. So Screwy sez "So what kinda cartoon is this gonna be, anyway?" And Grey starts talking about it's all about him and all his cute little friends in the forest, as Screwy walks him along going "Mmm hmm, I see", over behind a tree out of view. Cue cloud of fists and feet and beating noises. Screwy then walks back into view dusting off his hands as Taps play. and sez to the audience:"You wouldn't a liked that cartoon anyway. The funny stuff'll start as soon as the phone rings." He BEAT HIM TO DEATH. ... I guess Tex Avery had squirrels too. Dammit. |

We had chipmunks burrow under our garage and destroy some of our lawn, so we created a rube goldberg trap out of a bucket filled with food and a baseball base that would fall on top of the opening when a chipmunk climbed inside so we could take them to the park and let them out. We told our neighbor who said he had a recurring squirrel problem and had done the same thing. He started spraypainting the squirrel's tails so he could identify them, and it was the same squirrels coming miles from the park all the way back to his house. If you really want to solve your squirrel problem, there's only one thing to do. You need to call the police and file a restraining order against the squirrels. Get a lawyer to attempt to secure property damage from them. If they're the invasive red squirrels like this thread has mentioned, contact immigration services to attempt to investigate their legality. If they don't have proper authorization, you might want to contact the Trump campaign. If he hears that illegal squirrel immigrants have come into your neighborhood and are lowering your property values, you're gonna get some national recognition. I don't know if he pays people that tell their stories on the campaign trail on his behalf, but honestly, if the squirrels are ruining your lawn anyways you might as well try to get a buck out of this situation. |

I got squirrels inside my bathroom wall one time, I think they got in through the roof I live in a condo I don't know, but it's kinda a poo poo condo so it's like a crappy apartment only you have to take care of everything yourself, so I had to cut a hole in the bathroom wall and put peanut butter crackers in a box in the bathroom and trap them and put them outside the end |
