we got a squirrel that chewed her way in to our attic, im concerned cause i have a newborn baby and the landlord f the house doesn want an exterminator cause he thinks he can handle it himself but it has been several days and no luck… what should i do? should i be concerned about diseases or fleas?
i know this is not the correct category but you guys are the only ones answering seriously, thanks
to native:a squirrel is a rodent therefore something has to be done, or do you have them living in your house?
me and some friends are going to do some early squirrel hunting here in the city of chicago and i was wondering if them squirrelies are good to eat or sumthing cause im not going to just kill a squirrel and leave it there i want to eat in and make a coat out of his fur so what do u think?
i understand the cons of feeding squirrels but i feel the pros outweigh it. my neighbor seems to think i am the cause of her rodent problems and yelled at me yesterday and threaten to call the city on me. i checked and it’s not illegal to feed them. I don’t leave table food out, it’s all high quality feed and it’s in a feeder at the back end of my yard. my neighbor has set up mouse trap to kill any chipmunk/squirrels/etc. that get on her property. i don’t agree with what she is doing but i can’t tell her what to do so i don’t feel she has a right to tell me what to do either! i am not the only one feeding in the neighborhood and my feeding is not the cause of her problems. i really don’t want to start a war but i don’t see why i need to change my lifestyle to accommodate her. i want to continue to enjoy my home/yard but it’s hard now cuz of her. what should i do? give in? continue to live my life the way I want to live it? Serious comments please! thanks!
if she agree to stop killing then i will stop feedubg but she will continue to kill so what’s the point? am i putting innocent lives in the line of fire? i could be but with or without me, the squirrels will find their way to her property. note, i don’t put out 3 meals a day for them, it’s only occassionally whenever i have time to get out there so i don’t see how they will be “dependent” on my food and “can’t survive” on their own.
i called the city – it is not illegal to feed at all – there are just guidelines to follow (no food on the ground and feeder has to be 4ft above ground). there is no point talking sense into her, i tried and she yelled and screamed for 15mins and shut the door on me. she has been complaining to other neighbors about it too and i feel i am being unjustly “ganged up” on. The point is, i am sorry she is having problems with rodents but i am not the cause of her problems so i shouldn’t be blamed for it. i already have to taped up all the windows facing her home so i don’t witness her “murdering” the critters…what else can i do? last i checked, i am the one paying for the house, not her!
