Any cure for Squirrels eating antenna cables
Antenna Group~
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 Stuart, ki6qp |

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 Yodar "Stuart" wrote in message .. .

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 hank wd5jfr "Stuart" wrote in message .. .

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. hank wd5jfr "Reg Edwards" wrote in message ... Are squirrels edible ? |

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 :-) Carl - wk3c |

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.. -- 73 es cul wb3fup a Salty Bear "Carl R. Stevenson" wrote in message ...
