Meanie Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Anyone have a squirrel trap I can use? I have a few that for awhile didn't bother me, but this year they decided it was warmer in my house than outside. Now they need to go. Also once I catch said squirrels I am going to "release" them and I need a firearms safe place to do so.I've read once they start going in houses they will go in some one elses if now killed. They also will return back to their original home if just released.Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snot Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 You can borrow them from the animal shelters for 50. You get your money back when returned ( so I have been told). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanie Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 well once I trap them I am going to see if a BB gun will end them, if not I'll switch to the .22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm sure there's some messed-up city law that forbids you from transporting critters out of their native area - as if squirrels aren't everywhere...I'd say take 'em to the park (on the other side of town), drown 'em, something. Pellet gun should work.Just make sure they're out of your house ASAP. Once they start breeding...Cat or dog could maybe get rid of them - I've got a fine huntin' cat I could loan ya, or get yourself one them little yippee dogs (cats that bark)...

flounder Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 pellet gun will work just fine and is probably the most humane if youre planning on dispatching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 how is it the most humane? while i agree it will work fine - i dont see how a .22 would be less humaneunless youre referring to people saying to drown themwhile were on the topic of humane killing, if SHTF - would a pellet gun have enough power to penetrate into somebodys brain, via their eye socket? pellets are cheap and could be used for zombie squirrel hunting and shooting your neighbors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanie Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I saw that sling shot video about a year ago, first thing I thought about whe I decided they needed to go. My luck one of them would break a head stone in the cemetary behind my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanie Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Well I have removed a total of 4 squirrels so far and there are at least 2 more to go. This morning I checked the trap and had an unlikely captive. An opossum decided he wanted some peanut butter. They are not normally destructive, so I let him leave unscathed. I wish the other 2 squirrels would get in the trap though, they have gotten a bit smarter I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 FYI - A .22 wont easily kill a possum with a head shot. they have very thick skulls covered with lots of muscle. Shoot them in the heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
