![]() I really wanted to see that, but the Crane did his job. The pest guy there had a plan to acquire one of these things. He cut the population pretty far back, then one day he took off, and hasn't been seen since. The Crane was just trying to make a living. I don't much like killing things anymore myself, but it's kinda fun watching natural culling going on. ![]() ![]() A carpenter at the facility got a video of that Crane catching six of them one right after the other. Faster than lightening his head flew forward and then gulped down a Squirrel. Next day I spotted a really big Crane of some sort intently focused on a hole. Didn't know why they needed so many holes but the lawn was totally destroyed with mounds all over.Īnyway, I came back later in the day and didn't see a single Squirrel running about in that area. One day I was watching about a dozen of them digging holes everywhere in one small section of a lawn area. As the population increased even more this summer them things were running ALL over the place. Every tree and building had holes dug all underneath, and every crack in a wood fascia had a critter sized hole chewed into it. The city people that work there freak out if they see a bee, wasp, or Hornet, so he's constantly getting calls.Īs the Squirrel population increased this spring the damage caused by those things got out of hand. The permanent pest guy there has his hands full with all of that, but mostly the Wasps and Squirrels give him the most headaches. The biggest PIA critter there is Squirrels, both ground and tree versions. Deer, wild Turkeys, Hawks, Peacocks, Bobcats, Some neat little black and white woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and a couple of Cougars have been spotted too. They can be a big pain.Īt the facility I work at there's all kinds of animals running around. So the last thing I need, you too I imagine, is the spca or county animal control knocking at your door. As of late, I have quite a few new millennial neighbors that have moved into the neighborhood who think those squirrels are cute and are horrified at my previous methods for removing them. It was not inexpensive, but then, all I had to do is call them whenever there was a squirrel in the trap and they took care of the disposal, and no issues with the neighbors calling the spca on me for drowning or dispatching them to a tree in the after life in some other manner (which I have done in the past). I forget how much the exterminator charged me, its been a few years ago. Every once in a while one of the neighborhood cats tangles with a squirrel and the squirrel always wins. Man, those little buggers have some sharp teeth. But they can also carry disease, flees, and if they are aggressive males, can be dangerous. As long as there is no food, or more importantly water, source for them in the house, they will come out eventually. The traps the professionals use attach to the house right where that hole is and catch them as they come out. ![]() The problem is, you have them in the house already. ![]()
