k well when chit hits the fan.. and grocery store shelves are empty.. or you can't get to food.. you still going to be complaining about the supple little meaty bodies throwing themselves at you?


put a couple live-trap-cages around and drive them far away and release them if you're not going to eat them jeesh

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Don't you see what's going on? Obviously the squirrels have called in the rats as reinforcement -- which can't mean anything other than that they're planning a massive attack in the VERY near future. I wouldn't be surprised, either, if they had learned in the meantime how to construct homemade backpack nuts with supplies from beauty stores.

What really concerns me as well is the message of one the other posters in which he/she mentioned that he/she has American Grey Squirrels around, but they are actually BLACK. This has given me endless nightmares already. It is quite clear to me that these black "Grey" Squirrels must be hybrids, bred by alien squirrel races to infiltrate the domestic squirrel population and pose as one of their own. It appears the hybridization process may not have been 100% successful, which is why these "Grey" Squirrels are of a darker color than their terrestrial peers.

I'm quite sure that if you look closely enough, you'd notice that their eyes are ALL black, with no whites in them. Some posters here also mentioned that they have a kind of persuasiveness to them, trying to make people to let them inside their houses or attics. The OP himself as well as other posters also have admitted that the sight of these hybrid squirrels fills them with an irrational, mortal fear.

So, here's my advice:

- Do NOT let the black squirrels into your house -- even if they swear they MUST use your phone or bathroom. Don't be fooled!
- Do NOT go outside at night; they may be hiding somewhere to ambush you when you least expect it. Also, it seems their powers are stronger in the dark.
- As for the domestic squirrel/rat terrorist cells: If you see any nuts that look like they have been cut open and put back together, RUN! Backpack nuts are said to have a explosive range of ca. 3.75 feet, so make sure you stay at a safe distance.

That's all I have for you right now. I will watch out for squirrels at my own house and report anything suspicious.

funny I saw this thread. I just came in from the garage ware I just got done cleaning today's hunt. Three black squirrels and 2 red. We have been able to limit out almost every time we have gone out sense small game season started. there truly is a ton of squirrels this year.

There is an increase in squirrels all over it was a great year for nut trees and the more food there is the more squirrels there are going to be. Get rid of the food and you get rid of the squirrels.

Only way to do this is to be out there every day with a rake raking up the acorns they will go elsewhere to find food. Its a lot of work but other then a squirrel holocaust I don't know of any other way.

Just for the record squirrel is really good barbecued. don't knock it til ya tried it. Squirrel stew is also very good.

Animals can often alert us to problems and imbalances in nature.

People have been talking about inordinate numbers of squirrels showing up in places and that many have become migratory because there is a problem with their food source: weather related, or pollution factors, or invasion by another animal species, or sensing a natural disaster about to take place.

Chances are if you are seeing more squirrels than ususual...you may have a neighbor who is feeding them.....or this could be animal behaviorial signs that bear watching.
