I guess I'm gonna have to burn the house down?

Glue traps are brutal. But they work. I will not tolerate rodents in my space. They never make it past the garage. mtmuley

A distinct sound when a rodent at full speed hits a glue trap and skates across a concrete floor.
Cheap entertainment for us sick bastards when I was younger.

Get em with a red ryder bb gun in your best john wayne costume.

I’d go catch a marmot and release it into the basement. This will run the squirrel off

Rent-a-Weasel?

I'm kind of afraid to Google that one.

Badger?

 

[Straight Arrow]

Badger?

Honey badger!

 

[Jbotto]

I’ve heard you can usually get them with a Victor rat trap. I know guys who caught them outside with them. I’d probably rig up some 110’s and set them in a way to not catch the cats.

 

[Hem]

Shouldn't the cats eliminate the problem?

 

[Jbotto]

Shouldn't the cats eliminate the problem?

Cats don’t eliminate themselves often enough.

 

[mtmuley]

Shouldn't the cats eliminate the problem?

Yeah. No kidding. I have a couple dogs that would do just that. Especially my Rottweiler. mtmuley

 

[Gerald Martin]

Honey badger!

Man. Your mind tracked exactly to the same conclusion as mine as I read through this thread.

My male wire-hair would routinely stand over a gophers hole motionless for 2-3 hours and nail the little bastard every time. He also destroyed 2 nicely stacked cords of wood trying to get rabbits.
He's gone now, but the neighbors cats now do vermin control on my property.
Oh yeah, Sid hated cats too.

My daughter and Son in Law had an unfortunate situation with the neighbors cat and their two dogs this week. Strained relations. mtmuley

Whose property did the unfortunate incident occur on?

 

[mtmuley]

Whose property did the unfortunate incident occur on?

On my Daughter's property. Bad deal nonetheless. Interesting how a sweet family pet will turn into a savage sometimes. mtmuley

Our honey badger is so sweet and playful ... if fed and watered on time. But perturbed at intrusive dogs or cats and will bite through and ruin another steel cable tether to explode and wreak havoc!

Leave the toilet seat up, my brother had one drown in his toilet a decade ago.

I was going to say conibear as I’ve caught a few ermine in them.

However, 5 gallon bucket partially filled with water is a great chipmunk killer. It’ll probably work on squirrels too

 

[Potsie]

I’ll be swinging through in a couple weeks, want me to drop off what I’ve been using for stray cats and raccoons around my place?

Well - Immediate crisis over. I came home from giving Miss T a driving lesson on USFS roads to find the house in a turmoil. Rocky had ended up in a cul-de-sac of the heating ducts right by the furnace intake. It quickly became one of those, " You can do this or I can do this, but you can't tell me how I'm going to do this...."

Unscrewed the heater return grate and the rodeo began. My son on one side and me on the other and Rocky with nowhere to go. I caught him in my gloved hand on the third pass.
Rocky will no longer be a problem.

Gonna test the $75 Squirrelnator outside the house when it arrives.
