Squirrel status (long)
Good news is: They're gone. Learned a lot about theses little pests though and thought I'd pass on what I discovered in case anyone else ever has this problem. First, contrary to what I originally thought, these were not baby or young grey squirrels. They were full grown American Red Squirrels. Red Squirrels are common just about everywhere, you just don't see them out and about as often as the grey squirrels. They are slightly larger than a chipmunk. The fur is not necessarily as "red" as you might think but their underbelly is white and they have black rings around their eyes. I was catching 7 or 8 a day in a HaveaHart trap that I was setting in a workshop in the attic and then releasing them. Mistake number one. As others pointed out, they were returning to the house probably faster than I was coming back from the woods where I released them. Good news was ... there weren't as many of them as I feared. They were just about 6 or 7 repeat visitors. I discovered how they were getting in. The four season's porch we have does not have a poured concrete foundation like the rest of the house although it does have a stone facade on the framing that looks like a foundation. The floor framing is insulated but, because it is also heated, there are gaps in the heating piping from the house basement and an easy route for the little critters to get in the basement and then into walls, etc. Plugged the gaps. I also found a large hole dug under the facade on the side of the house facing the woods. Filled it in with rocks, gravel and dirt and then sprinkled some squirrel and rodent repellant everywhere around where the hole previously existed. Caught a few more in the trap but now it's been two days that the trap remains empty and we don't hear any little critters running around up there or in the walls at night. Now, here's some info I found interesting and unbelievable: In Massachusetts and a few other states, it is illegal to trap squirrels, even if on your property. I think they are referring to grey squirrels, but the statute doesn't distinguish what squirrel they are talking about. You can hunt squirrels ... but only during squirrel hunting season (twice a year). It requires a hunting license and you can shoot them or hunt them with bow and arrow. Trapping is *not* allowed. But, get this: It is also illegal to transport and relocate squirrels or any other wild animal in this and many other states. Two primary reasons. First, squirrels are smart little *******s. Once they associate lights with the potential of a warm, dry attic they like to invade. Relocating them, regardless of the distance, only serves to transfer your squirrel problem to someone else. The second reason comes from tree hugging, animal rights organizations. They claim that squirrels are very territorial and will attack and kill an immigrant to their area. The animal rights people are concerned about the stress put on the poor little creatures. There is actually a licensed animal rights group who will attempt to "relocate" squirrels under controlled, minimal stress conditions. It turns out, if one was to completely stay in accordance with state laws, the only way to legally get rid of them is to hire a licensed pest control company who will set traps and then dispose of them by euthanasia. Killing them after capture is considered the most humane method of disposing of them because it causes the least amount of stress on them. However, to be totally law abiding, the property owner can't do it. You have to pay $1,000 or more to have it done. I found several articles written by professional pest control experts. One attempted to test the belief that squirrels will find their way back to where they set up home by trapping them, tagging them and then releasing them at different distances from where they were caught. At three miles, almost all the squirrels returned. At seven miles, half returned. In one case a tagged squirrel returned after being released *25* miles from where it was caught. Best method to euthanize them? Shooting: Not recommended, either by pellet gun or firearm of any type. Most residential areas don't allow discharge of a firearm on your property anyway unless you are located far from any roads or other houses. Poison: Definitely not recommended. Stressful to animal and, if they die in your house it's going to stink for a couple of weeks. CO2: Not recommended. Dangerous to do and not always effective. Drowning: This is the recommended and most humane way to euthanize them. Once trapped, put the entire trap in a big bucket of water. Only takes about 15-20 seconds and it's all over. Give it a full minute or two in order to be absolutely sure. We are now squirrel free. |

One day, the squirrels decided that it tasted good, and started chewing on it. The offenders got a tub of rat poison and peanut butter mixture on the roof for a day. That stopped the chewing. A "magnum" pellet gun cut the local population down, and we never had the problem again. The current house (brick) has an issue with squirrels getting into the leaf-guarded gutters. They chew a small opening in an end and setup a home in there. Then they run through the gutters, which drives my black lab, Buddy, crazy. I've lost two downspouts... one chewed flat, and one pulled completely off the house. The suppressed S&W M&P 15/22 is currently handling that task. :) |

I decided shooting was more humane. For sure 30 seconds did not do the trick. Up around a minute, they were just wet. Rats may be tougher than squirrels tho. |

We only have the little red squirrels around here and one guy competes with the Blue Jays and crows for the shelled peanuts the wife puts out. My Springer spaniel loves to watch him running along the wires strung from the power poles.
I have a video of the squirrel jumping from our deck to the little bag of bird seed made into a ball with bacon fat, hanging from a tree branch. It spins when he landscape on it but he gets what he wants and then he jumps back to our deck. No sign of him attempting 'break and entry'. |

The siding was on the house when we moved in, twenty years ago, and finding the same stuff is impossible. Of course, the siding companies would *love* to redo the whole house! I've only lost one downspout. Yeah, the one that was chewed flat was like a cheese grater inside. When I cut it off, a squirrel fell out that had fallen down into it and was scrambling around inside when Buddy attacked. (our downspouts empty into corrugated pipe that is buried and eventually ends up in the woods to carry water away from the house) He looked pretty bad, but shot off into the woods, happy to make it out alive. |

My grandmother was an animal lover who wouldn't hurt a flea with the exception of red squirrels - because of their destructiveness. She'd sound the alarm if she spotted a red squirrel in the yard and someone would be sent out to dispatch it with a 410 shotgun. There were no repeat offenders. |

We have lots of gray squirrels here because of all of the live oaks and laurel oaks. Mr Ed is not really interested in them at all. He was interested in the rabbits but he didn't chase them. Once he did get close enough to lick one but he was so non-threatening walking up that the rabbit just stood there. The lick did send him off tho. It was one of those things I wish I had recorded. They stood there nose to nose for about 20 seconds. I get squirrels on the boat from time to time but the boat is buttoned up tight enough that they don't cause any damage. They were eating holes in my lift cover until I covered the edges with aluminum flashing. |

I have no interest in hunting them but when they set up residence in your house it's time for them to be encouraged to move on. They can be very destructive if left there long enough, including chewing through wiring and starting a fire. When I grew up we had nice Grey Squirrels. Some Midwestern idiots brought some of the red fox squirrels here, illegally. Now most of the Bay Area is overrun with red squirrel, as they are more aggressive than the native grey. We have probably 10 or 12 living in the palm tree and the owl box I installed, they eat a lot of the sunflower seeds I put in the bird feeder. |
