I know right!!! If it was not 8 feet off the ground id be thinking exactly that LOL. Ive seen bears cause less damage this is just one photo but these things are like packs of wolves around my whole shed (did i do something to piss em' off?) They want my shed GONE!

I recommend at least a 15 round clip.

...I don't think it's squirrels, I'm positive Al Gore said it was acid rain, caused buy global warming, caused by gun owning anti-establishment coal burning revolutionists

Maybe they heard you were nuts and are coming after you.



No offense just re paying the jab.

A weasel got in here one winter a few years ago. Didn't do any damage like those "squirrels" but got to say the cats were not that thrilled to go after it!

touché LOL... any ideas for these lil' devils, there is a 1-2 inch gap between the swing out doors and ramp and i dont see any damage their from them trying to get in, i only keep lawn mower and yard junk in here.

Squirrels are rodents. Their teeth constantly grow and must be worn down so they chew. You should see the damage they can do when they find their way into a home or attic. I've seen a vacant home where one got in through the firepalce chimney. They freak out trying to escape. This little guy chewed every piece of window sill, baseboard, door casing and cabinet in the house.

Oh snap.... well that makes me feel better any thoughts on how i can eradicate them without getting 10,000 birdshot holes through my shed LOL

Live traps work very well. Once you catch one you then drown the little bugger in a barrel of water. I found a peanut butter and Ritz cracker mix works pretty well. Though South Shore squirrels may like something differant than North Shore squirrels.

If you need a live trap I am happy to loan you one. If the thought of drowning the little buggers bothers you, your next best bet is a 12 gauge.

& for those that have never done it... you just toss trap and all in the pond night & then go watch an hour of TV. That's how my sis in law says good bye to skunks. Sometimes she relocates them but sometimes the relocation in under daisy roots.

I prefer the target practice or training some would call it. I had some mighty epic battles with chipmunks or ground squirrels at home last year. I used a cheap crosman pellet gun. Use the right tool for the game I say, I don't need no stinking rocket launcher for a squirrel. I did see a video about some guys that put bait on a trap thrower and flung the poor critter WAY out in the woods. Probably on youtube, called squirrel-a-pult.
