That’s a terrific thing. I live in a small tourist town so that kind of thing wouldn’t be a big surprise.
There are some very good police out there. I’m sure they still did their job and ran the extra cheese and olives pizza recipient thru a warrant check before knocking on the door. You can still do your job and be a servant to the people. People respect that.
Also Portland cement mixed with peanut butter. Make balls out of it. Put in a dish outside that is covered from rain. Maybe put some other birdseed etc in it to get the squirrels interested.
I cannot testify 100% on it but...... Just think of ways to lure them into eating the cement balls. Maybe peanuts in the shell?
You should have told your neighbors that you saw a black helicopter fly over your house moments before the pepper cloud appeared.
That would have made for a great conspiracy story. Even WND might have picked it up.
Put some moth balls in a bunch of socks, and tie off the ends. Toss them around the attic. Squirrels won’t go there any more. I got that idea from the Internet; but, it actually works. (Hint, use the socks left behind, after your drier eats their mates.)
At this point however, my efforts and results have become the stuff that dominates the block party conversations. The cayenne pepper was the final straw.
I had tried mothballs too. I left them off the list. I did the flakes too.
I guess your squirrels just have more gumption than mine.
And yet another one,, ,
Why are the cops always fearing for their lives??
I’ve seen BB guns that look like machine guns. Stupid kid.

Very urban part of town, dense with 100 year old oaks and crepe myrtles. It’s a lack of predation thing. When you walk the dog around the block and count 40 squirrels without really searching, you know you have an overpopulation thing going on. We do have some owls and hawks in the canopies, but the owls prefer small cats for some reason and the hawks eat some, but not enough.
I've been pondering how to disguise an airgun as something less likely to bring the SWAT Team a-running. Maybe one of those big neon plastic super-soaker things with an old Crosman 180 CO2 rig (or new Chinese QB clone) hidden inside.
These damned fox squirrels in north Texas are the size of small housecats and are very destructive. I need something to pop them in either the front yard or within view of the nervous-Nellie neighbors.
BTW, check out a product called "Just One Bite". Use that and most of your problem will end up floating in a neighbor's swimming pool.
I have thought about it and came up with a solution. My son has a bunch of those floating noodle things he uses in our pool. The middle is hollow and just about the size of the barrel of the gun. One of those cut to length in the color pink should do the trick.
My squirrels are tenacious. One found a knock-out under my electric meter pan and forced it open. Zot!!
What did you bait the havahart trap with? I use peanut butter for the ground squirrels here in NM, works pretty good.
Once they’re in the trap you can’t miss. ;)
I used peanuts, peanut butter, cheetos, and steel cut oats. They managed to roll the thing around to get to the peanuts, oats, and cheetos. Nada on the peanut butter.
This may create its own problems, but they should be easier to deal with than squirrels:)
Its an upside down world. Cops in any town USSA can shoot to kill cause they are “scared” and our military, in a damn war zone, can’t shoot unless fired upon.
