Ninja Squirrels
March 6, 2007
So, I have this squirrel problem. Everytime I put out the garbage in the trash cans in my back yard the stupid squirrels get into it. Food and various yucky stuff ends up all over my yard and needless to say picking it up isn't a joy.
Now, these squirrels have no fear. They usually come in a gang and attack even when we are sitting outside. One has even come right up to my face and given that look that he just may mug me.
We've tried ropes to hold down the lip, chains and various other apparatus, but it's no use. They jump from the trees with their ninja moves, twisting and turning until landing in a perfect pattern by the garbage. They chew their way through the lid (which accounts for the various holes) until they reach their booty.
Now if anyone has any squirrel repellant ideas it would be much appreciated :)
