okay, I am about ready to get out the Franchi SPAS-12 and start blasting away at the ^$#@ pests !
does anyone have any proven methods that work in keeping squirrels away from the gutters & woodwork that they happen to be mounted on ?
i've been doing nothing but patching up holes they keep making by chewing their way through wood to get into the attic.
i've patched up pieces using steel chicken wire, and wood wrapped in the stuff - but still the bastards find weaker exposed wood to bite thru (and gain access to the attic).
i've gone from live traps, to poisoning them with rat poison, and placing large spring loaded rat traps around the gutters, but still they keep coming !
my next strategy is using razor concertina wire around the gutters/wood work.
Any suggestions on lethal kill methods that can be deployed un-manned ? and/or ways to keep those squirrels at bay ?
what would a "professional" exterminator do ?
