When the squirrel smells dog he should stay away. Disguisting though it may be, it's worth a try, eh?

I don't know what it is, but I can't keep the squirrels off of my bird feeder for anything, no matter how rediculous they make themselves look to do so. They hang upside down, the straddle it and hang on for life, swaying in the Maryland breeze, and they KNOW I don't like it, and I am SURE it makes it all the more fun! Just LOOK at this cheeky thing!

Phyllis, I think I'll pass on the piss on a rag idea. When wendy sprayed the animal repellant into the engine compartment, the whole cab of the vehicle smelled like it... (Hot Peppers). Nobody is real hip on the idea of a family outing inhaling urine fumes! Besides, getting Cheezer to pee on a rag would be more difficult than getting rid of the squirrel I think!

I doubt that would help. This critter has a fetish with plastic and rubber. He's not eating it as much as chewing. Maybe it's a she using it for nesting material, who knows? What I do know is that sucker has got to go. His/her days are numbered.

We even caught him twice in the trap and took him to a nice park ( two different parks one a little farther away then the first) and he came back so in the end it was him or us. And we chose our safety. Good luck And yes we tried urine as well (Stinky!!!!) Hey Mike,
