Guys, a couple of squirrels have moved into an upper crawl space at our house by chewing through the thin screen opening and I would like to close it off with some heavy hardware cloth without trapping them inside for obvious reasons.

Any ideas on making some safe smoke to hopefully make them vacate the premises.


Denny.

Pour some grain outside, smoke them there....just providing an alternative solution.

Light up a good cigar------------

Move to so. central Idaho or SW Oregon. The forest fires will smoke out anything.

damp burlap maybe nasty but harmless i presume you are having a bout of mercy and just want them gone and nat dead.

Denny,

I think I'd toss a box trap up there with some peanut butter and relocate them back up to that back pasture (or a hot skillet, your choice! ) vice smoking up the place.

Allen

Yep trap and then make limb chicken stew...

Try a bug bomb. That will take care of intruders.

George

Seal off all door jambs and windows. Fill a steel barrel with marijuanna in your kiving room and set on fire. So I have heard, the smoke will be plenty

I would first attempt to draw them out with some Liza Minelli tunes and the promise of free tickets to Broadway musicals...

Squirrels, not fairies

Damn that's good. I'll try to remember that next time.

Really 284lvr I'd forget the smoke idea. Whole house might go.

A few mothballs may run them out.

rat traps

he's tryin to get rid of the squirrels!! That's just gonna give em the munchies then who knows how much more they'll chew up

They make these adapters to connect your cars exhaust pipe to a garden hose. Have everyone leave the house for 24 hours and fill the attic with carbon monoxide.

Think of how many hippies and high school/college age kids it will attract. They will eat all your breakfast cereal and wear out your couch!

And have Gus monitor it....

now that was funny.

There is an electronic noise maker or strobe light (can't remember which) that is made for driving squirrels crazy. It drives them out and won't hurt your attic or anything up there other than the squirrels. They will leave the way they came in. don't patch anything before they have left or they will go crazy in your attic. My brother used one in his attic and it worked like a charm.
