Hubby has made pets out of several bushytail grey squirrels who are not destructive and fun to watch.
It’s the very destructive ground squirrel that is his nemesis.
Ground squirrels get under car hoods and eat the wiring, get into the insulation in your home and have a field day, get in your walls and eat electrical wiring and cause as much havoc as they can.
Those pesky waskels! I used to feed some squirrels on my fence in California. If I ran out of peanuts, they would stare at me through the patio door until I went to the store specifically to buy them unsalted peanuts.
