Last year, I was having a real problem with squirrels gnawing on the house and damaging my car. Pesky rodents can be a serious problem, one not to be ignored. Squirrels have even started fires by chewing on electrical wires.
I bought a tube trap that has been very effective. After two squirrels were killed, I have had no further problems with squirrel damage. Knock on wood.
