Check your states nuisance animal laws, you may be able to switch from a water pistol to a pellet gun or bow.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoSounds like they may not want to.
- nickpeterson 3y agoIt’s not impossible, I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoYeah, but they're a lot larger than a squirrel. Unless you have squirrels the size of exhaust ports, in which case I need to know how to avoid your neighborhood!
- capableweb 3y agoPellet gun or a bow sounds like it could seriously hurt the animal, why would you prefer that rather than harmless water? They'll learn after a while to stay away with just water.
- stcroixx 3y agoThey're good to eat, taste similar to rabbit. Might shoot some today.
- capableweb 3y agoYeah, not everyone have a local butcher and need to hunt food themselves, not common to come across folks like you here :)
- zdragnar 3y agoYou really don't want to take squirrels to your local butcher. If they don't laugh you out of the shop, there's not nearly enough meat on them to pay them for their time. Get yourself a good, sharp paring knife or pocket knife and some kitchen shears and you're good to go.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoI find this reply humorous as it points out the flaw in the above posters thinking. Having said that, I tend to lean on the side of the other poster in that harming animals should be avoided unless there's a specific reason (such as eating them) At some point the world isn't kumbaya and the animals will learn when they tend to die or be physically hurt when approaching that activity.
- e40 3y agoThe water has not been a deterrent, in my experience.
- Tao3300 3y agoWell now you're just swapping one inconvenient squirrel fluid for another.
- doubled112 3y agoThat squirrel will only leave that fluid once though.
- giardini 3y agoSquirrels are large enough to make a meal. And you can sell squirrel caps to the neighbors' kids.
- e40 3y agoThought about it. My neighbors are so close that I worry about using anything other than a water gun, which was pretty ineffective, though they seem to really, really hate water, for some reason.
- sonofhans 3y agoOh, I’ve no desire to hurt them. Squirrels are living creatures. They’re causing no true harm, and I have no ends that are served well by their deaths. One could argue about whether they aspire to true Personhood as a dog or dolphin or human, but they certainly have their own little bits of Buddha-nature, and that is to be respected.
