Kath,I've had problems with squirrels for quite some time. We put mesh over the flower bulbs, so they can't dig 'em up anymore. They chewed a hole in my porch roof and my garage roof at two different houses...you have to keep the squirrel highways (trees and bushes) trimmed back. They raid my veggie garden. When they destroyed 150 12" tall oak seedlings growing in 1 gallon pots to get to the acorn on the bottom, that was the straw that broke the camels back. I no longer take 'em to the park nearby. I take the trap and drop it in a garbage can full of water...Davy Jone's Locker for them :-( When I can get a clean shot, they die of lead poisoning...one shot, one kill.PS: I was working on my van a couple years ago. I left the engine cover off, since I was going to continue working on it the next day. One of the little buggers left a rock hard piece of strawberry angelfood cake inside on the van floor...talk about adding insult to injury!
