I told hubby there was a squirrel under the house, he said no way, must be my imagination, why would a squirrel get under the house. WELL guess what? While I was away he and the dog saw the squirrel under the house. Now the war is on, how to get the animal out from under the house? Well at least it's not s skunk.. This should be fun to watch.

We don't have squirrels in my country, and if there are they don't live near people. Why you want to catch him ? I don't think he can harm. Correct me i'm wrong.

They chew up everything, wiring, insulation, wood all the stuff that is under the house and they stink up the underside of the house. Animals under the house are not a good idea.

Oh so you must get rid of it. Luckily we don't have them in my area although I think it's a cute animal which I would glad raise as my pet.

Under the house they destroy the electrical wiring, they eat the wood and make it into bedding, they can tear apart your home.

There was one time, me and hubby thought a squirrel went in the house because we have a store room in the bathroom upstairs and the door is really hard to open and the matter is you need to pull to open or push from the store room to open the door, but we never go in there and it is a very small little room. That night, we went home, I found that door opened and our dog never wanted to go into the bathroom again and barked at it. We assumed that was a squirrel but we never know how it got out of the house. Do you have a dog? It think dog is good enough to scare them away. Or you can just step on the porch or something to make them go away.

Our Dog goes from vent to vent in the house listening for the animal, we don't want to let her under the house because she gets so excited and if the squirrel jumped up on the wires she might try to go after it, then we would really have a big mess.

One squirrel chewed up my phone line and was working on my line for the air conditioner. Not sure if it had been caught since I don't live there anymore.

lol...squirrels can be a nuisance, but I think they are so cute! My Dad would get upset with the squirrels, because they would eat the food he set out for the birds. He loved to watch the birds come and eat at the feeders. When the squirrels came, there wouldn't be any food left for the birds. Yes, it is true, at least squirrels don't smell like the skunks, you're lucky there.

That's terrible!! I had a squirrel get into my attic once, man, what a pain that was! I was lucky though, I just threw my cat in there for a while. If you've figured out where it got in at, then you could leave a trail of nuts/seeds to much further away, and while it's out fill up the hole again. (One thing, when you go to fill the hole, stick in a wad of steel wool and it won't remove it to try and go back in through that hole.) Yes lol, it's good it's not a skunk! Right now I've got a raccoon that keeps getting into my garage at night, time for me to figure out where it's getting in at!! Good luck!
