| squirrel taunting cats |
I cussed a bit, then went outside to see what I could see. Sure enough, the little varmints had managed to get back into the eave I'd blocked off earlier this year. This time, there are four of them. Young ones, which is probably why they were initially able to worm into the hole.
I wasn't sure why the coyote urine had stopped working, but figured it out later in the day when I saw some green plastic when I was cleaning the gutter. They'd managed to get the packet out of the pocket, and tossed it over the side, where it landed in the gutter.
I can hear it now.
"Look guys, what a great fixer-upper!"
"Yeah, but what's that smell? It's awful!"
"It's coming from this pile over here. Let me just get rid of it, and we'll have ourselves a great place to live."
heave. ho.
"See? The stench is clearing out already. It'll be just perfect for us in no time!"
Back to Google. No, you can't poison them - they REALLY smell bad if they die in the walls. I can't shoot them, we're within city limits, and besides, I'd probably just take out a window or two. Searching further, I found some designs for one-way squirrel doors. I picked up the materials this last weekend, and plan to build me one this week, and try it this weekend.
Wish me luck...
