Squirrels are just Rats with better P.R.
I don't have a forested area, squirrels have to risk their lives to cross a highway and road to get to my yard. But one does.
The cat hates it too. I've been watching it. It stores nuts in my Pine trees /more

(not the same squirrel, I didn't have my camera)

@Rasta
He, he...a friend always called them rats with fluffy tails. The "fluffy" is their P.R...it makes them cute.

The rat side: I have neighbors who create so much trash that the squirrels easily get into their bins. Then they "hide" their treasures. In snowy winters, I can find a chicken bone (part of a piece of bread or bun) on an outside window ledge.

@ldmay65 We had our old motorhome out touring the province, and we usually go after all the work is done, kids are back in school, some park features are not open anymore, pools for example but you have the place to yourself and rarely need reservations. The seasonal campers, with full decks, have golf carts for vehicles. I watched a squirrel go in and out of the electrical motor all day stashing nuts. Probably chew wires and damage it severely. Don't wait, set rat traps today
