Ever diligent, the two squirrels watch for other squirrels to fall for the trap to have a laugh.
"Come on bucky! I dare you to get that peanut first"
Trapping 101.
Yes, this is our Texas sized squirrel trap as the little (cute) critters are getting into the attic and rather than shoot them on sight I figured I would set a trap for them to relocated them 5 miles away... Unfortunately, it seems to be more of a source of Jerry Springer Squirrel TV entertainment than a trap.
I still crack up when I see that picture! It reminds of the scene I witnessed only yesterday with my own two eyes... two cute squirrels cuddling on a boulder RIGHT IN FRONT of the dammmmnnn trap!!!!!!! They best be careful or they will be leaving our house the "other" way...
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Good news, we trapped a squirrel today in our trap! Quite a surprise as I didn't bait it with anything different (still had what was in it from a couple days ago). So I walked him down (about 40 min walk) to the Bayou and let him go (well, I'm assuming it was a him, I didn't check). I even gave him a few peanuts before we left so at least he had a full belly.... hopefully he won't come back though.
The peanuts did work, but PB wasn't eatin though. I am also trying crackers as I heard they work as well... Thankfully the trap did finally work (once) as I did buy poison but haven't used it.
