Now that's funny right there. I don't care who you are.

The only thing that could improve it would be a nice brick or concrete block wall for a landing zone!
Most likely thing here is that the destructive animal would be killed. A rare animal may be dealt with otherwise, but not necessarily.

Get a cat. Mine catches squirrels that are almost twice his size.
Nothing like a hard landing for the squirelly curmudgeon.
ooops....blush

Oh! When looking into this group I first saw a complaint of somewhone about a woodchuck. Same tip for you: Read the description of a selb- built smoke bomb at instructables.com. Basically a mixture of sugar and saltpeter. Should smoke a lot - but beware of the smell!
Try it! Maybe you will be happy about having a squirrel. ;-)

We had a squirrel and some of his rodent cousins in our attic. Had to hire a company to seal up all possible entry points. They also set traps in the attic. After a couple months and a couple more visits from the company, the problem was solved. Also found one deceased rat up there.
I understand those devices are a total waste of money.
for launching rodents with cute tails? You've got to be kidding.

Don't you have .22 long rifle sub-sonics over there? That's what I have always used (here in Oz) with a baffle style silencer for small game (and neighborhood cats) when I wanted to be quiet. BRNO Model 2 with a twelve inch Billet Baffle silencer, makes no more noise than snapping your fingers. The sound of the firing pin hitting the cartridge is louder that the actual shot.
I mostly use it for shooting rabbits (so the sound of the shot doesn't spook the rest of them) and for killing cats. I have an intense dislike of cats that are allowed to roam free and kill wildlife. The irresponsible idiots who own them need a good hard kick up the arse on a regular basis. I put strong smelling cat treats, sardines, tuna etc., out in my yard and shoot every cat that comes over my fence. Either that or I put the bait food in a metal dish on a rubber mat and wire one side of a 240 volt mains lead to it. They make more noise when I electrocute them though, much better to shoot them - a clean head shot and they make no sound at all.
JD - in Oz.
Or even better .. rather than battling with an innocent creature you could have actually just sealed the hole!? The simplest solution is often the best ...
