Squirrels

I’ve been at war for a bit. A war against a squirrel.

This little bastard has been raiding the feeder for a while. I’ve mostly relied on using high power nerf¹ guns to deal with them. That helped for a bit, but didn’t stop them. I tried even high power foam guns, even brushing² the tail. Again, that didn’t stop them.

Going Nuclear

Birds can’t taste spice, but squirrels can. So you might think to mix in a bit of mild hot sauce. And that’s what I did, I just didn’t go mild.

I went straight for the big guns. One tiny drop of this stuff made my throat hurt for over half an hour³. It’ll be perfect… The squirrel, didn’t care. Not one bit.

I’m going to have to look into an anti squirrel feeder. As chemical warfare didn’t work.

Not the little foam darts, the high speed foam balls. ↩︎
not hitting the tail itself, just the fur. ↩︎
That was a sample at the spice shop, I immediately bought a bottle after that. ↩︎
