Dear all, I'd just like to mention an unusual way of eliminating squirrels. I'm not sure how to make it happen however. It's really up to the squirrel. A month or so ago the power went out at our house. This is not unusual during winter as we live where there can be fierce winds with winter storms and where there are a lot of trees and they often fall on the wires. This was not a stormy day however. No one else seemed to be without power so we finally reported the power was out. As we left for an afternoon walk we noticed a dead squirrel on the pavement underneath our power lines. I wondered it that was the culprit only later to have it confirmed when someone was sent to solve the problem. He told me it was not unusual for them to do the high wire act with the same result. He said something like "this little guy gave up his life..." like it was the supreme sacrifice. What he didn't say was for what. Did this seem a quicker route than swinging through the trees? I am wondering if Arnold figured out how far he needed to transport his squirrels to keep them from coming back. Someone here says it is 20 miles for raccoons. Any less and they return to the favorite spot. Mary Sue
