Well Hubby shot the second squirrel I hope that will take care of the problem, these are ground squirrels and they eat the wires under your car or the insulation on the house, ours were under the house and getting into the walls, once they are in there you have to pay someone to come poison them to get them out. We haven't had a big problem because they have been on a vacant part of the property but this year they moved into the house and they will ruin everything they come in contact with so they had to go. I hate to kill anything but in the country it becomes you or them sometimes.

I didn't know that squirrels are a menace in your place. The squirrels in my place are only attacking fruits. They will finish up the ripening fruits in the trees before we can harvest them. The rats are my main enemy here. I left my other house empty and when I came back the other day they had a big feast and everything is in a mess. Before I left, I set up mouse traps and hope to see them caged in the next time I come back.

Well you did what you had to do. I can understand you not wanting them in your house. Luckly we dont have that problem where I live. What are ground squirrels? We have squirrels in the trees but they dont come in the house. Well I hope your problem is solved and you dont have to get an exterminator.
