The squirrel population is seriously out of control.

If you’re not squeamish about doing something besides trying to hit them with cars, may I suggest the “Squirrelinator” .... got one of these last year. NO squirrels on the bird feeders this year. We do ‘catch’, but not ‘release’ - you may choose to release (if it’s legal where you are), but if you do release, the squirrels should be taken at least 5 miles away & 10 is better.

Note: for gray squirrels, you will rarely catch more than one in the Squirrelinator at a time since they are highly territorial. We did catch 2 once ... a small, young squirrel was in the trap & a large, mature squirrel went in after. Not a good scene, but I was keeping an eye on things so the fighting didn’t last long.

What did you use for bait in the squirrel trap?
