mead107 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 And where do you dump all that kitty litter?? In my neighbors garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 In my neighbors garden. Ha ha! Thought maybe you used something like this: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/yard-a-pult/n9814?snl=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Got to get me one of them. I can cancel my garabage pick up. Save money in retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Ha ha! Thought maybe you used something like this: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/yard-a-pult/n9814?snl=1 I neither confirm nor deny that I built something very similar to take care of a squirrel problem.

BringBackFergy Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Here's another trick (learned this when I worked in Missions in Peru in 1989): Find a Peruvian Rectangular cactus plant. Cut it in 3" square chunks. Set it aside. Then get a gallon of antifreeze and soak 100 QTips in it until they are saturated. Buy a AirWick deoderizer and dismantle the wick and retain the liquid. Pour the AirWick Green Mountain oil into a test tube and add three cotton balls. Then take the cotton balls and attach 3 feet of 10lb test fishing line to each cotton ball. Next, tie the fishing line (with each cotton ball) to your ceiling fan and door knobs. Use a Sharpie and draw a smiley face on each cotton ball. Let the cats see the devices and attack the cotton balls. The aroma will force them to seek outside areas to discharge. Seriously. This one works.

The antifreeze required to saturate 100 QTips is far less than a gallon. Are you getting kickbacks from Prestone or something? A gallon. How stupid do you think we are?

I advise you to refrain from further comment on this topic, lest you contribute to a squirrel uprising. You could be ground zero for their revolt! We had flying squirrels in the attic. Clever pests, and expensive to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hate those varmints....btw that is the correct spelling for varmit...anyway, so my squirrel problem has abated, but then we had an invasion of voles, that also abated...currently we are overrun with chipmunks. I hate those cute !@#$ers, I try running them over when I drive in and out of the driveway but they dodge me at the very last moment, my dogs are useless, I'm thinking of getting a BB gun and picking them off one by one....sigh...frickin nature..

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I play with a couple guys who never air their gear out. That would be an improvement. Good way to get staph? The new resistant staph that is getting around. Didn't Jay McKee get a staph infection and cost us (debatable) Stanley Cup? We would have surely beat Edmonton. Oh... And John... Holy smokes, you got real problems. I (wife, not my doing) have 3 cats and I am in Chef's camp.... They are gone if any hint I can't manage those three any more! Ever since our Squaw Valley trip a couple of years ago... They used to all go in the same litter box... I suspect my lazy neighbor wasn't doing his job well enough... One cat (the older one, like that is obvious) is acting all squirrely with the other two... But something we have to control and intervene constantly. No messes though, just good intervention and management. But it is exhausting. As soon as my son gets back to Iowa City and his apartment, he's taking it off my hands! And I just wanted to say: "Some people got the real problems Some people out of luck Some people think I can solve them Lord heavens above I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me Don't ask my opinion Don't ask me to lie Then beg for forgiveness For making you cry Making you cry 'Cause I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put your blame on me Don't put the blame on me Oh, some people got the real problems Some people out of luck Some people think I can solve them Lord heavens above I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm only human I make mistakes I'm only human That's all it takes To put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm no prophet or Messiah Should go looking somewhere higher I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm only human I do what I can I'm just a man I do what I can Don't put the blame on me Don't put your blame on me" Edited May 31, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
