This thread might be a whole lot more fun if it had begun:

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.

The only way you'll get bitten once it's in the trap is if you stick your fingers inside the cage.

Yeah, after I posted that, I figured there has to be some sort of handle or something. If I catch one, I'll ber certain to document it photographically and share with all of you wonderful people who have helped with the problem. (I mean it.)

My money's on you in the cage and the squirrel taking the photos

My grandfather, before he passed away, spent much of his time trying to get the squirrels that ate from his feeders. He had one of his own squirrel traps. Whenever he caught one, he had one of those huge trashcans he kept full of water that he put it in. Of course, I was five, so I never knew of the atrocities.

What's the latest?

Is it still holed up in the house? Plotting squirrel revenge? Makin' babies? Dead? Gone? Are you in the cage and the squirrel has command of the television remote?
