We have a neighbor who feeds them. Crazy fool!! I too caught a couple enjoying themselves and I guess that's why there are so many in the neighborhood. <BR/><BR/>My plan...get rid of the neighbor in my case. Might actually be easier. Ha!<BR/><BR/>Good luck and let us know how it goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18472575.post-83647433122039529842007-07-04T18:53:00.000-07:002007-07-04T18:53:00.000-07:00Not for nothin', Jeff, but my raccoons--somehow ge...Not for nothin', Jeff, but my raccoons--somehow getting under a bungie cord that keeps a garbage pail lid on--may just trump your squirrels. I mean, picking up garbage that's been gone through by—I assume—a wild animal that carries all kinds of pestilence, has got to be farther down the warpath.

One gardener/bird lover rigged her birdfeeder with a slinky and when the squirrels jumped onto the pole to get at the seeds, they were pitched a good distance by the slinky and she got in a good vengeful cackle of victory.
