    Thumbs up A Very Unwelcome Visitor

    There is a squirrel in my basement. I heard noises down there and went to investigate. He ran into the cellar when I yelled at him and I shut the door and barricaded it shut.

    A couple things:

    How strong are they?

    How smart are they?

    I have to leave for work super soon I am already going to be late, but I have called and explained the situation and do have some time.

    I'd suggest animal control; you don't know what that thing could be carrying. As to how they behave, I think it could vary. They can be pretty savvy. If you have to go to work soon, I'm not sure you'd have time to call animal control unless you live with other people who can be there.

    No time. That's why I posted here. I cannot have him loose in the house destroying everything. I just want him to stay in there and die. Just want to make sure my barricade will hold.

    PS Will squirrels eat rat poison and die?

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    go to the local humane society and get a humane trap.

    set it free outside.

    don't bring it to the trap to the humane society after you catch it because they'll euthanize it.

    Are squirrels so problematic?

    We don't have any of those animals where I live.

    Ah, have some compassion. animal control will take care of it.

    Squirrels are smart, there's no outsmarting them.




    I've never been able to trap or poison one. I suggest a good strong slingshot or a 22.

    You should see what I did, got a huge metal plate and stuck it over the crack on the bottom of the door, then I leaned 3 folding chairs in front of it and stacked boxes all around.

    Sealing the bottom makes sense.
