Put a dozen in an inaccessible part of your attic (they chew their way in) and you will change your tune.
Try to sleep with these fluffy-tailed rats galloping in your rafters all night.
After a week you will be looking for anybody to remove them in any way possible.
Worse is when a family of these buggers find their way in, and can’t figure their way out. The smell is atrocious.
I have nothing against catching them in a trap. My problem is with them not checking the trap and allowing the squirrel to roast to death.
No kidding.
I was one-step away from using a flame thrower on our "visitors."

Lotsa hickory and black walnut trees ‘round my place. Gray squirrels I just keep an eye on, but reds are dead soon after I see ‘em.
