We had a red squirrel chew through the screen on our jalousie window early one morning. He chewed up 3 or 4 hamburger buns near the window and then jumped on my brother while he was sleeping. When my brother jumped up, the squirrel ran back to the kitchen and was under the table. I heard the racket at about 6:45 am and came out into the kitchen to see my brother opening the door and chasing the squirrel out with a straw broom. We then found the hole in the screen, and only saw the chewed buns later. The little bugger had jumped up on the shed roof in front of the cottage and then got on the window sill to chew the screen. We set up a have a heart trap with peanut butter bait, but we never caught him. We did have to chase him off the windowsill for a day or 2 after we had patched the screen. Luckily, he didn't bite my brother when he startled him.
