I had a big problem with squirrels
stealing suet cages when we first moved into our new neighborhood. So I made
my own suet cakes, with bacon grease, sunflower seeds and lots of red-pepper
flakes. We put the traps out one Sunday (just after we moved into the new
house) and the next morning, a cold-quiet january morning we heard screaming as
we left for work (my wife and I left at the same time). There were squirrels
screaming from many of the nearby trees as well as standing on our house and the
neighbors’ houses. It was eerie! My wife asked what did you
do, so I told her. She forbade me from doing it again saying that she did not
want to become known as the people with the screaming squirrels. She said that’s
all we need for the new neighbors’ to associate us (the new people) with
the howling little critters. We’ve laughed about that story for
years now. Zone 6b |
