Ohhhhh Debbieeeee

 

Why can't you legally shoot him with your bb gun?

 

Legally speaking, you can't shoot a bb gun on most of LI.

If you want to rid your neighborhood of the tree rats, call 1-800- Go-Granny and she'll humanely trap them for transport to Bayshore.

If you live in Bayshore and want to rid your neighborhood of those pests, you're out of luck.

 

Awesome picture. I would not get rid of that squirrel.

 

If you call an exterminator they will trap them and throw the trap and squire into a 55 gallon drum filled with water and drown it. That is not humane to me. Just shoot it with your gamo whisper and no one will know.

 

Touch that *cough* bunny thing Joe and Snugs and I will be at your door in a Bay Shore minute. lmao. That picture is priceless but it should have been a rotisserie chicken. Much healthier, you know?

Do it for the squirrels.

 

That is a great picture.

 

IED acorns....

Trap them in a "Have a heart trap" , shave it's tail and release at your local politicans house if he voted for the safe act.

 

I have a live catch trap. I use peanut butter which apparently is like crack to squirrels. I like to watch them walk around the trap and jump on top trying to figure out a way to get to it without walking into the trap. After I catch them we go for a long ride and I let them out. Got rid of about 8 of them last year. Looks like I need to get rid of a few more. I wouldn't really care about them except that they started eating my strawberries.

 

You are not supposed to relocate them (Unless it's to Deb's house!.

 

Home depot carries rat poison blocks called "first bite". I suggested this to a co-worker. Apply some peanut butter and wire it to a tree above the ground. Give it a few days. Presto! Problem disappears.
(also does roof rats mice and chipmunks) poor little buggers.

 

This also kills owls and hawks and other birds of prey when they eat the critter that has ingested the poison.
Trap it or shoot it. No collateral damage.

PS. Rat poison does not kill racoons. I had a 5 gallon pail of poison blocks to maintain rat traps on a large estate. Raccoons broke into the garage one night and ate half of the pail. I found little green turd piles all around the property for the next few days...

 

I give rabbits and squirrels a pass I guess because they are small, cute and funny. Raccons must all die as they are nasty.

 

I have a Cuisinart on a remote control.
Put acorns inside.
Wait for Mr Tree Rat to go in and hit Puree. ( Dan Aykroyd gave me the idea)

 

I grew up in Nassau and now live in Suffolk. My wife wanted to move back to Nassau at one point and I said you can't afford a house on your own! There is no way I would live in that town. It is heading for financial ruin regarding the tax situation. Growing up I started a club called the BHA, back yard hunters of America. We shot squirrels all the time.

 

I'm with you guys about getting rid of these little creatures. They look like a rat w/ a fluffy tail. That's why I can't understand how some people down south like to eat them. Ahhhhh.

 

My buddy has this hanging on his fridge. I think hes taken out over 60 in the past few years. Theyre like rats with a furry tail. Im not sure whats worse, squirrels or woodchucks.

 

 

Same squirrel 10 minutes after the chicken leg:

 

An elderly man who lived up the block from me was actually arrested and fined for shooting squirrels with an air rifle in his backyard.How can you arrest an old man for that?

 

my Jack Russell Terrier will gladly take care of that rodent, no squirrel, bird or cat dares venture into my yard.

 

They are digging up your lawn looking for acorns that got pushed into the grass and dirt from the weight of snow on top. When I had a dog and he was out in yard all the time, squirrels avoided my yard altogether even though it was full of acorns. Once I know longer had a dog, the squirrels worked their way back.
So get a dog. If not possible, get one of those plastic decoys of some type of hawk or owl on a pole in yard. That might keep them away.

 

I tried a plastic owl a few years back to deal with my tomato eating squirrel problem. It made no difference, despite the fact that I moved it frequently as suggested by the manufacturer.

 

Don't get caught relocating them, DEC frowns and smiles as they hand you the fine.
They will spend the time to bust you as they look the other way as Mark Kelly's dog latches on the seal.

I always go right for the destructive to property
Not so sure on the it's illegal to shoot a airgun in the back yard

 

How has no one suggested this yet?

 

I just shot coffee out of my nose! It's "friendly" and funny!

 

A few years ago, I would regularly thin the herd of squirrels in my parents' wooded backyard in Huntington with our old Sheridan .20 cal. I guess I can consider myself lucky that there were never any problems stemming from that. The bird feeders were full, so the birds, and my father, were happy. Works for me.

 

Now that is cool! Had to watch it 3 times, I missed so many parts cause I was laughing so hard!
