J Larsen Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 ? Just as he was about to get in, I spilled a *little* scalding coffee on him through the crack he had made between the plastic guard and the window frame - just enough to make him change his mind. Then I quickly yanked the air conditioner out of the window and slammed it shut. There was something wrong about that squirrel. Rabies? I actually was worried about that. The reason I mentioned it in my first post is that he seemed weirdly aggressive and determined for a squirrel - he kept showing his teeth and he was clawing at the plastic guard really hard. I thought it was a rat until I saw the tail. Just catching up on this thread, I'm surprised that he didn't just go ahead and chew through the plastic in the first place. If they can effortlessly tunnel through our heavy duty gutter guards, I'd think an AC accordian screen would be like a piece of spaghetti for one of 'em. He probably would have if I hadn't managed to get the AC out of the window in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 OK, now he's just taunting me. When I woke up this morning, I found him sleeping on the window sill. That was your chance to "dispatch" him in some way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 OK, now he's just taunting me. When I woke up this morning, I found him sleeping on the window sill. Are you sure that it's not, now, all in your head? "Villains!" I shrieked," dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous (squirrel) heart!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 OK, now he's just taunting me. When I woke up this morning, I found him sleeping on the window sill. Probably crashed out after that coffee-and-tabasco binge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) OK, now he's just taunting me. When I woke up this morning, I found him sleeping on the window sill. Hey, you know, I'm not a violent person or anything, and I love animals, but it's time to either call animal control or else kill this motherfucker.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 OK, now he's just taunting me. When I woke up this morning, I found him sleeping on the window sill. Hey, you know, I'm not a violent person or anything, and I love animals, but it's time to either call animal control or else kill this motherfucker. I don't think he needs to kill it ---- plus he's in Manhattan so he can't exactly borrow one of our 16-gauge jobbers --- but rather pick up one of those super-soaker water guns and drill the sucker a few times over with some good 'ol H20. My guess is he'll bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) OK, now he's just taunting me. When I woke up this morning, I found him sleeping on the window sill. Tell him according to your attorney you're gonna have to start charging him rent. That may do the trick.

This squirrel is definitely, like the man says, wrong. Action must be taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I read that, a little light bulb went off - it smells just like cat piss. I've even put the air conditioner back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Does this mean that this thread has to come to an end? I'm loving the display of google image skills. Not that I intend to make light of a serious potentially rabid animal situation; I'm glad it's been resolved, but damn some of these pics and posts are hilarious.

JSngry Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Did you hit him directly w/the ammonia, or did you just make a shot in his general area? I'd hope for as non-intrusive solution to the problem as possible, but sometimes that's not an option, unfortunately. Either way, glad that it's over, and hope it stays over.

I didn't hit him with it at all, I just poured it on the window sill while he was away. Now he's my neighbor's problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
