How to get rid of squirrels - Feed squirrels where you want to stay

The squirrels are a nuisance. They put in the trash and birdfeeders. They build nests in the most irritating places of garage, attic, and eaves. The largest of all trouble is when "I swear" to you when you come and go home.


There are several ways to discourage them:
Put a guard deflector or squirrel bird feeder poles. Make sure that bird feeding cables are less distance squirrel jumping all the trees and coat hangers. Use the metal garbage cans and power cables of birds instead of plastic that can chew through. Use a Perching bird feeder spring which will not open with the weight of the squirrel. Use live traps to move them to another area. I use squirrel repellent as spraying powder of chili, peppers or Cayenne where you want it away. Put chicken on your beds (covered with a light dirt dust) wire to avoid to dig up the bulbs. Find the holes where getting and fix them.


All of these work, I can tell you from experience I would also say to try to keep them away from an area which invade another area. One night I got to find a squirrel in our toilet. Tracked by the thought of vent stack drainage was an interesting place to build a nest, swam to the bathroom and then panicked when he found the toilet down seat until he drowned. I still think of all the fun my dog and cat would have had if the seat was - and my family mock me still above screaming my head off when I found it!


You have to admire the small rodents.
They can throw a tortilla through a fourth inch hole in a garbage bag and keep it in one piece. They know that the dog not to pursue them past the fence and the cat can't get them across the screen, by which they can swear them all want a safe distance. They are incredible acrobats to try anything and chew through anything to get to food.


My ingenious husband emerged a plan to use their curiosity against them. He hung up cans of empty coffee trees spaced several feet away (because squirrels are territorial) and sunflower seeds in them to feed them.


When we made the discovery more surprising. If you feed them, I leave other areas only! Not even make nests in our workshop already; Instead it made nests in the trees near the power cables.


I must now warn you that you need a coffee can for each squirrel feeder unless you want to listen to penetrated throughout the day where another squirrel comes into its territory. Screaming squirrels they confuse to other animals and birds is a danger of alarm and away, which expires in order to feed the birds.


Soon discover that each squirrel had its own personality. A squirrel ate by what the sunflower shells fell outside the Andean Community. Another would be grab a seed, eating on the edge of the can of coffee with the back of a tree, so it could view your domain while eating. Others preferred to hide inside or outside peek now and then as if it were a soldier in a hideout. We find squirrels even more entertaining than the birds!


Talk entertainment... squirrel feeders are a fun way to furry Court Jesters to his working dinner and "earn its keep".
Put cobs of corn dry at the end of a squirrel spinner or feeder of arrow and enjoy watching them try to eat. Putting a COB of corn at the end of a bungee squirrel. Put the nuts or seeds in a squirrel Munch box where they have to open a door to throw food. Extend a wire or cable on a tree to another by what they have tightrope walk to reach the food. There are also nice feeders corn from the cob to little adirondack chairs and picnic tables.


As they say, if you can not defeat - join them. We have discovered that feeding squirrels not only kept out of danger, but we also entertained. As an additional benefit flying squirrels were visiting the night power cables!
