The squirrels here the my neighborhood have suddenly decided they like to
eat my coax and control cables. They seem to be particularly attracted to
the self-vulcanizing rubber used to seal the connections but they have eaten
some coax cables as well. Anyone know of a cure for this problem?

Thanks

Wildlife biologists have the problem of squirrels getting into their
bird-boxes and they use a product called tanglefoot in a 1 gallon paint can
that you trowel onto the post ot tree the squirrels(and raccons) use to make
their raids ...Those that fail to ignore this stick sh*t become irrevocably
glued where they step

It also is used to make glueboards for rodent trapping by troweling it onto
cardboard panels...Try a pest control product supplier

Be wary, that stuff is really STICKY and I don't know YET how to get it off,
and I been using it for years

Squirrels aka Tree Rats ate a hole in my roof twice and got into the attic..
Best solution is kill em with whatever it takes..
They have no natural enemies here and multiply like rats..
They're cute but destructive rodents..
good luck

Are squirrels edible ?

In Oklahoma squirrels are consider game animals and have a season and bag
limit. When I was in college about forty years one of my room mate was
shot and squirrels every chnace he got. He also roasted possum! I didn't
care for the taste of either.

In Texas, we have a legal squirrel hunting season. They are not
bad eatin' around a campfire after a day of clearing land.

You guys are lucky my XYL isn't watching this thread ... she is
a biologist, licensed by the PA State Game Commission as a
wildlife rehabilitator (she's currently raising ... for release ... about
a dozen orphaned baby squirrels ... probably does about 60 or
more each season, in addition to rehabbing maybe 2 dozen or
more injured adults.)

We have 12 acres of forest here, with squirrels, rabbits, possums,
several dozen wild turkeys, groundhogs, deer, fox, quail, and some
pheasants ... if I shot a single one, she'd shoot me (or worse :-)

Luckily, so far at least, no evidence of the local critter population
developing a taste for coax :-)

Take a trip though Fairmont Park in Philly. Nothing green below 4 of 5
foot. Overpopulation is as much a problem as over hunting, a potentially
more serious to humans as diseased animals die..
