Yeah, I did..........

Just tell me that you're not gonna' catch 'em so that you can eat 'em. You DON'T eat 'em, right?

Uhhgh, bit shy, signed up today because I can eat them - but don't have the need. With all the folk that have lost jobs last year I had enough and volunteered to leave ADT Security for a top notch privately owned pest control company. Give me a day or two, but I came over from the White Blaze.Net forum as many members are over here.

They call me Trapper Mark as a joke at the office, I can trap most animals faster than some folk that have been there for years.

In the last two months I have trapped numerous squirrels, groundhogs, four skunks, loads of mice, and hit a roadblock with a very smart rat.

THAT'S the spirit, welderguy!

Just be careful that he doesn't drink too much. All it takes is a mere sniff of Amaretto, Anka, Hams, Frangelico, or, perish the thought, La Extremeña Acorn Liquor, and it's all over for those guys.........

I noticed an error your post, WOW. (That's your new nickname, Wise Old Owl - it's WOW.) By accident, I'm sure, you included "squirrels" in your list of pests.

You meant to include squirrels in your list of pets, not peSts, right, WOW?

**Wise Old Owl** · 02-13-2010, 10:16 PM

Woo - Ahh well, whatever.

**oly** · 02-13-2010, 11:45 PM

hmmm...
Not what you want to hear but, the flying squirrels that have been living in our walls prefer the acorn baited traps in the attic, to the peanut baited traps.

The ones that did not go for either got shot through the bathroom ceiling around 5am.

But I love the red and grey squirrels that live outside and visit the bird feeder!
They get acorns too. Just not in a trap.

You shot them through the ceiling? So..good news no squirrels, bad news airplanes can watch you shower?

Ken
Morning feeding...Audubon tree nut mix.....they love it
Noon feeding in the shell salt free peanuts.....will eat them as they know that is it for the day.

I have given them some nuts that were soak'd in a special herbal blend, that we both enjoy, and they loved it. I tried a couple in my drink and will stick with onions.

It must be a Quality Profession type thing.
Don't forget your fiber
