Damn Squirrel update

Yes we are at it again. This time my friend Paul got in the action and helped me tracked 101him  through the trees. I hit him at least a dozen times with the air soft gun (just enough to sting and hopefully make him find a new home). We use the water hose as well chasing him from tree to tree. He finally settled in his nest which I took out of the tree. I figured that should do it. Nope I was so wrong. He is back today but wiser. When he hears the front door open he jumps into the tree and tries to hide.

OK this is it - Step 2: Get out the ladder and check out what he is so interested in since the cayenne_peppergutters and flashing are all metal. WOW he is eating through the metal bracket which holds the gutters to the house. Well I whipped out some petroleum jelly and smeared it on the brackets and inside the gutters. Now spread a heavy sprinkle of cayenne pepper in the gutter.

Stay tuned and I will let you know if this fire breathing fur ball sticks around.
