sandbar67: spentmiles: What funny timing! I love birds, so I have several feeders in my backyard. Unfortunately, that means I'm constantly at war with the squirrels who would happily devour two pounds of expensive seed in one sitting. I've tried all variations of squirrel-proof feeders, but because I've got a lot of trees in my backyard, they always figure out a way to jump from a higher limb, circumventing the barrier. I've tried everything else too -- pole grease, rubber snakes, loud noises. Finally, last week, I decided to fix the problem once and for all.

They seem to prefer the sunflower seeds the most, so I bought a big bag of those along with five pounds of warfarin, the most popular rodenticide available to consumers. I mixed three parts seeds to one part warfarin and filled all the feeders. Warfarin doesn't kill instantly by any means. It takes five to seven days of feeding for a lethal dose to build up in the squirrel's body. I also combined some of it with talcum powder and coated the perches with the mixture. It gets into their fur and they consume more of it while grooming. Its odorless and tasteless, so the greedy little bastards didn't even realize they were poisoning themselves!

Well, lo and behold, I walked outside this morning and there were over thirty paralyzed, twitching squirrels! I thought there'd just be two or three, but in turns out I had more of a problem than I thought. I guess they'd eaten just enough to disable their nervous systems, so it was easy to shovel them all into a black plastic garbage back, which I tied up tight. It's going to be 105 degrees here today and I hung the bag in the closed up garage. If the heat doesn't get them, then the suffocation will!

I look forward to washing out the feeders tonight and getting back to feeding my babies!

I hope you die a violent and painful death.

Obviously you're new here... Spentmiles makes many threads worth reading...
