raphael119: Like ever living thing they should be respected. Nature can be cruel, but animals kill for survival not for entertainment.
Except if you are explaining the behavior of the badger, a cat that plays with a mouse, a pack of domestic dogs gone feral, hyenas killing their siblings even in the womb, sharks in a feeding frenzy, a lot of different males species in a mating competitions, female lions with either lions or competing predators in their territory.
They don't just kill for survival.

Last winter I had a squirrel in the garage and he was pretty freaked out but he eventually ran straight out the garage door and kept going straight across the street. 2 days ago I had a chipmunk in the house. I was lucky he went in the dining room(hiding under an antique make up table) which is close to the front entrance so I opened the door and with a broom handle I touched his tail and he headed for the door and out he went.
Chipmunks are the cutest.

It was cute watching him trying to run in the kitchen(linoleum floor)and no grip. I say lucky he went in the dining room cause its a 4 level house.
Be aware of local laws involving squirrel hunting.
One thing to be aware of is that squirrel is considered a game animal, so there are regulations, bag limits, and seasons. In some states, so long as the animal is within so many yards of your home (50 in the case of South Carolina), and you are far enough away from a populated area (discharging a firearm in city limits is highly illegal), you may kill it. You will just have to familiarize yourself with the laws, and your local Department of Natural Resources will be glad to answer any questions you may have. It is as simple as calling them .....

So John, the squirrels are outwitting you.
And the only way you can think of to outwit them is to blow their brains out.

Id never kill one just for amusement.

I agree but a lot of that behavior you cite is based on species survival, territory necessary to survival, mating competitions are usually harmless rituals, I' ve fed feral dog packs before, even male lions killing cubs relates to species survival.

I am not a vegetarian so I am guilty as well since someone is killing some animals for me to eat. I used to be a vegetarian for some years, though.
Killing animals, for the reason that hey are bothering you is not different from killing an animal for fed., because we do have millions of options to feed on.
So the question would be better addressed to all the ones that eat meat of any source and I think that will be millions.
Millions of predators.

Not sure how to delete/remove this thread, so I guess it's up for the duration, of continued comments. Enjoy...

Yes, I agree with your logic. People eat meat, therefore John's not being outwitted by squirrels.

Good, because I didn't mention anything about eating the squirrels, or the ethics of eating animals to survive. The implication of my post was that the squirrels were using their wits more than John.

Maybe not, Jac.... I'm the victor in this,
and haven't seen a single one for the last 2 days!
But still keeping an eye out for them... just incase... I need to implement my tactics once again... but so far, so good....
Have a good weekend....

A hollow victory when the squirrels use more well thought out and sophisticated tactics than you.

Yes, those little creatures are witty and they can outwit you or me as well, that is why there are squirrel's feeders, instead.

Well, Jac... like it or not... I'm in the "victory Lane" for the moment....
I was temped to ask for your rifle John to shoot the females aphids (from my plants), because they keep coming in 100’s, 1000’s…..instead I am using a strong water-sprayer but still I have some of them.

Nah, victory would be in outwitting them.

Do you put dish washing liquid in with the water?

You could have borrowed it, if needed. But I didn't need it for my previous idea...
Really didn't want to shoot them, so I worked out a way, so I didn't have to... So, it is available for your worms, if need be. (but you'd have to be one hell of a shot to go after them aphids.... so, more spray power with the hose might be the best plan of action for you issue.....

Ahaa...you didn't shoot them?
How did you do it in the end, then?
jac379: Nah, victory would be in outwitting them.
But we do not know what the goals of John were.
Perhaps, he just wanted to reduce the population.

Yes, I do.

Thank you John.
I can not use a hose because there are neighbors below my apartment so I have to be very careful when attacking those bugs with water.
Squirrels are beautiful as any animal in the wild.
Here when I see one I stop and try to take a picture of them. Once I did see one on the top of a very tall and spiny cactus plant taking the nectar of the flowers.
That could have been a NatGeo pic.
How did that squirrel got there??? And how she was going to go down???
Good nigh Guys!

You talking so much about how the damn squirrels "out witted" me.... uh ah
Well, it was my wits against them, that is working to keep them away.
Just be happy that they are not being shot.... Victory smells so sweet!!! hahaha
Figure it out, Jac....
Good night. LifeIsADream, enjoyed the chats...
