LOL! Don with exception ofA 'TV snack' that would be me...


Many years ago in a different house we had a large squirrel that got in.
He was driving us nuts running back and forth above a hanging ceiling we
had in the finished basement.

I had a high powered Crossman pump pellet rifle at the time.
One night I heard him out in the kitchen/dining room area. I quietly
approached the area with the rifle armed and pumped. He was sitting
on a buffet chomping on an apple from a basket my wife had sitting on it.

One shot in the head did him in. Then I spent the next two hours
cleaning up the brains and blood splattered all over the wall before my
wife saw it.

Trap was much cleaner and easier. Plus, the little critter got to live
another day.
