To: shotgun
here is my solution: Recruit all the base family children 12-18 and put them through hunter’s education and 6 weeks of .22 caliber rifle training. The assign a rifle and ammunition and to work shifts covering a specific zone. Pay a bounty for all kills. It would be quite fun.

So, your solution for a squirrel infestation around base housing is to turn loose a bunch of teenagers armed with .22 rifles?

Doesn't seem very safe to me. What happens when someone gets shot?

A better solution is some Squirrelinator no-kill traps that can capture up to 20-25 squirrels at a time. Once captured, they can be drowned in the optional water basin or dispatched with a pellet gun/.22 rifle shooting straight down into the ground.

And remember, 10% of your tax deductible purchase of a Squirrelanator will go to the I Won’t Be Back Charity on behalf of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s retirement.

We called them grey or cat squirrels. About 1/2 the size
of a red squirrel.
