The squirrels are what really go after my garden...."

I lost most of my tomatoes for a couple of years until I figured out it was the squirrels....never had seen anything like it.

Tried shooting them with a .22 but that was futile- too many of them.

Finally got some live traps, baited them with peanuts...and in 3 days time I took out 7 of them. Relocated miles away.

I also realized that they are very territorial. The squirrels in my front yard do not come to the back yard; at least for now...the garden is squirrel free.

If the food shortages get as bad as some of the alarmists are saying, you’ll need motion sensing gun sentries for the two legged variety of critters too

What kind of a squirrel trap do you use?
