Experiments in getting to the point.

Someone found my blog by Googling “can i kill a squirrel if in my house?”

My post on squirrel trapping didn’t address the propriety of exterminating domiciliary vermin.

So to that desperate Googler, I say—Heavens, yes!

…but only after trying to reason with the critter. I have found most squirrels to be pretty rational. But beware the evil squirrel. Beware.

I say, drown (or shoot) first ask and question later.

You need a pet eagle. It will take away any moral question of getting rid of squirrels

I had a group of squirrels living the attic of a house I used to rent. They learned the hard way not to squat in a house full of college guys.

Are squirrels edible? Bet they taste like chicken.

When searching Google with the aforementioned string, your site does come up #1. At this point, I would say that the genius Abraham Piper has arrived.

Then again, when searching for “Abraham Squirrel”, the blog comes up at a meager #6. Maybe one day…

So would the advice be the same as if someone human is trespassing? Make sure the body is heading IN the door, not OUT?

Just curious? We actually are in the process of trapping a gray squirrel that found a broken window into the attic. Fun stuff!

Alright Abraham…

My woes have started again. The horrible little creatures are once again terrorizing my home and family. Some parents fear downtown neighborhood dogs will attack and maim their children. I fear the Sciurus.

Ready… set…. go!

Someone once found my blog by googling:

squishing mouse between toes

Um, yuck!

Yes, they’re edible. I ate squirrel stew more than once growing up. Just had to watch out for the shotgun pellets–hard on the teeth. And no, I’m not kidding.
