Set up a roadside squirrel stand like the squirrel lady in the movie “Rat Race”.
“You should have bought a squirrel.” From: David Milholen Sent: Monday, May 11, 2015 6:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Voltage\Amperage on Shielded Cable make a large funnel with a deep enclosure for the funnel to fit on top of so the base of the funnel is inside the drum/enclosure. place some peanut butter in the base of the drum and coat the inside of the funnel with teflon oh and yes be sure the base of the funnel has a large enough hole big enough to allow them to get in and it must have a neck on the funnel. Give them a plank to walk over the funnel. This way the little suckers will fall into the drum and if its deep enough cant get out. Or you could get some of the larger rodent traps at farm supply that do the same thing accept they lay flat on the ground I dont like catching the big ones that are larger than the trap cuz they get a little angry.

I guess the farmer hates the squirrels being there, soooo.... now they won't be. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Mathew Howard" mailto:[email protected] To: "af" mailto:[email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2015 11:19:07 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Voltage\Amperage on Shielded Cable Conduit would probably be the most practical fix, but shooting the little vermin would be so much more satisfying...

Since these squirrels like chewing cables, I'd like to give them a shocking experience! Hook a cheap fence charger to the ground wire of the SS chassis? ;-) Note: I don't actually intend on doing that... not because of the squirrels, but because I don't wanna jack up the radios. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com --
