    My grandma kept a Super Soaker near her bird feeders just for the squirrels.

    If there were no squirrels, she'd blast the mailman just to stay sharp.

    Nah. She's way too lazy for that. Maybe if they came to the door.

    Fuck it. I'm making a slingshot out of a tree branch and a bicycle innertube. Squirrel is going down.

    Alright, an update: Took someone's advice, going to get a trap from the city. I called them and asked, "will you come set up a trap for it?"

    Lakewood guy: "No, you have to set it."

    Me: "What if it bites me when I pick it up?!?!"

    So I've developed a plan. I set it, trap it. My roommate/upstairs neighbor have to take it outside and let it free.

    Although, I haven't seen/heard it since Monday, but I figured the trap couldn't hurt anyway.

    Write-brained, how does it work? Peanut butter? Bread?

    I have no idea, dude. I just called the landlord, who called a pest control guy, who brought the cages to my house and set them himself.

    The most I did was the taunt the little rodent while waiting on the pest control guy to pick it up. :D

    I think he used peanut butter.

    Good Lord, it's a fucking squirrel and not the creature from Alien.

    Get a Havahart Live Animal Trap with the sliding, angled entryway. Put some shelled corn or peanuts or peanut butter on a slice of bread in the trap and set it where the rat can get to it.

    When, or if, you catch it, use the "handle" on the trap to pick up the cage, take it to the woods somewhere and turn it loose. If you get bitten, tape an asprin to it and drink some whiskey.

    Get a cheap pair of thick leather work gloves from Harbor Freight or someplace like that if you're worried about a potential bite.
