I have squirrels, red squirrels, chewing inside the walls and ceiling. Yesterday I put together a trap/drowning thing to try and kill them off. I went to TrueValue and they cut me two 4″ PVC pipes 5′ long each. I put peanut butter in the top opening then some more about 1 1/2 foot down the pipe, the pipe then sits in a bucket of water. Once the squirrel get in the pipe, it can’t get out and drowns. Unlike Chipmunks, squirrels can swim, so that’s why the use of a long pipe, they can’t climb back up, it’s too slippery. I guess the one benefit of not sleeping is that while I’m awake and making some noise, they keep quiet and stop chewing.
