  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The biological importance of squirrels:squirrels eat items that would otherwise be eaten by pest insects(such as weevils which can decimate whole crops),squirrels also plant tree nuts that would not grow otherwise,squirrels also eat foods that would attract rats otherwise,if u were to remove squirrels u would encourage vermin like Norway rats ,boll weevils and garden grubs.
Not saying killing them is the only answer but offing 2 or 3 of them is hardly going to upset the biological balance.
 
that's not true,....as long as the blade is no longer than the width of your palm. Also from what I gather you can carry knives larger than that, but they must be VISIBLE, so a sheath hooked to your belt and shirt tucked IN underneath it. The part where it becomes illegal is when you cover it up w/ your shirt or conceal it in another way.

Look into it.....I was told this a few years ago, they might have changed it but who knows anymore
last time I checked the only way its illegal to have a knife on you in PA is if its an automatic knife aka switchblade, gravity etc etc etc....
I imagine they'd throw the whole "carrying a bladed weapon with no lawful purpose" at you if you had a sword slung on your hip but otherwise you can carry anything anywhere last I checked.

Good morning,cats are useless against them as there are quite a few strays that live in the area,a few neighbors feed and look after them.The squirrels seem to taunt the cats since they are faster and more agile and the cats cannot catch them.
ahh you got them hood squirrels...the smart ones. Around here we have squirrels who don't know what a predator is haha.
In two weeks I go to my concert, I'm so excited!!! Woo hoo!!!

Having my hair white today so I can put green and purple in it next week. I haven't had bright hair since I was 17 so it'll be weird seeing my hair purple now that I have sparrows feet (not quite crows feet yet)... Oooo the excitement! :D
since no one else cared it seems I'll say have fun! seeing grown men...cry...about stuff ;) hahaha kidding!
See Folks? And he DOES Have-a-Heart ;)
He's probably just tired of hearing you whine about killing squirrels. I shoot everything that comes around my house, rabbits, raccoons, Mormons...everything is fair game if it bothers my property.
Don't you have a giant drool machine (dog)? If he's well trained enough get him to chase them - even if he doesn't catch them it should still scare the crapper off of them enough that you'd think they'd leave your plants alone. :)


Post Script: I'm not implying your dog isn't trained, I don't know how well he's trained that's why I said "if". :)

see hood squirrels comment. They know how to run cats and dogs around in the city lol. In Michigan they have some species of squirrel that is jet-black and huge. I watched a kid from one of the batteries at my unit run after it thinking it would run...didn't run. Never saw a squirrel attack someone until that day and it was the funniest ish I've ever seen seeing a full grown dude in full army acu's get bit and run like a bish from a giant black squirrel.

We don't get squirrels here, so I've never seen them in action... We get possums... Do they count? Lol

Possums only count if they are of a particular nuisance to you so post away if so.

Not around here, to many bogans to be cruel to them so they stay away.

Where we lived before however they were pricks and teased our cats, got into the bins, tried biting you if you got too close. Gutsy adorable little buggers they are..
