Heya, deb!
The Squirrelinator works! I saw ground squirrels hightailing it over the veggie compound fence where they were sampling either the strawberries or the gooseberries at 2:00 p.m. I unpacked The Squirrelinator, baited it with unshelled peanuts and at 3:30 I had one squirrel and by 5:00 there were two (now former varmints) trapped. I'll leave it in the compound overnight, but will probably move it to the front of the house where they're bouncing out of the cedar berm and scampering up the pecan trees. We have a horrible rodent problem, mainly rabbits by population....but the squirrels are the most destructive.
DH is VERY happy the device works as we witnessed a ground squirrel snatch a baby quail the other day and disappear down its den hole with Mama Quail frantically flying after it. Nasty things!
