Title: Flying squirrels
Post by: coolidge on March 05, 2015, 01:42:54 PM: Ok Homemade traps that actually work? Anyone?

Hand grenade and dynamite is a very good option, although out of stock at the moment.

Sounds as bad as those damn pineys. Me and a buddy de-pineyed the farm one time after one of those SOB's ran up my arm after opening a drawer in the old corn crib while looking for a bearing.

The red squirrels like to live in my attic, got a few with small box trap and nuts. Gave them to a trapper said they make Barbie clothes out of them in. Good luck they are tricky to trap, still have one to get, dog is on a mission to find it.

Only bad thing about moth balls is they stink to rodents as well as people I can't stand the smell of them.
