Crazy amount of squirrel damage

[garysanfran]

Are they gray or red? I find the reds to be much more invasive.

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.

These squirrels were grey. I set traps and caught 6 very quickly. Nothing since.
Will be interesting to see if they come back when I leave house for a few days.

We had tons of grey squirrels this year.

I won't miss them and I know you won't! I would hate them to get in my house like they did in yours'. They are pretty brave too. I swear they would come to the patio right in front of my dogs to tease them.
