They sure can. The tree rats are evil critters.K4SMX said:Squirrels can do a lot of damage.
My uncle and I had the same problem one chewed thru his cable and the same one got into his house and scared his wife to death when she awoke and found this critter on her stomache staring right at her :eek2: Boy I never heard her scream as loud as she did. So lets just say slug and squirl don't mix very well :eek2: :lol:Grentz said:Sounds like you need a pellet gun
(Or just better cable protection/cover)

Surely there is a less-gruesome way to get rid of them than battery acid.K4SMX said:"Splicing"? :eek2:
Squirrels can do a lot of damage. You may have to "take action." Reminds me of a problem my dad had with crows eating his corn seed. The guy from across the road showed up with a quart jar full of corn immersed in some liquid. I asked him, "What's the liquid?" "Battery acid. You might have crows, but they won't be the same crows....."![]()
Pellet rifle is better inside a city limit...CoramDeo said:Squirrel are very tasty, especially in a gumbo or jambalaya. It's squirrel season, so be sure your hunting license hasn't expired. I've never killed a squirrel with a pellet rifle; use a .22 rifle instead so you don't have to pick out the shot.
Some folks would argue that gray squirrels are varmints, not subject to seasonal regulations.CoramDeo said:Squirrel are very tasty, especially in a gumbo or jambalaya.

Which is why a pellet rifle is the weapon of choice.K4SMX said:Some folks would argue that gray squirrels are varmints, not subject to seasonal regulations.![]()
A 22 short can be just as quiet as a pelet gun and much more effective.dhhaines said:Which is why a pellet rifle is the weapon of choice.Can shoot them in the backyard without waking the neighbors nor alerting any authority type folks.
