Hot pepper wax?

Hmm. Mix hot sauce (or cayenne pepper, but cayenne doesn't disperse well in water and it clogs spray bottles) and mix it with water in a spray bottle (spray bottle =

You might try camphor [moth balls] or get JanetLand's cats to pee around your balcony.

Remove squirrel pieces and let cool. Remove meat from bones.

Serve with warm rolls and enjoy!

shoot, I used a carrot bracket and it cut off my mssg. spray bottle = less than $1 in beauty section of most cheap stores. spray the mixture where they're digging. safe, non-toxic, doesn't bother the squirrels, and keeps bugs away too. what JanetLand said but cheaper DIY.

well, it bothers the squirrels but doesn't hurt them.

isn't it cute watching them dig, though?
;-)

Hmmm, I have an excellent red chili hot sauce and a spray bottle. When I get home I will try this and see if it works. At the very least I'll have started marinating my squirrel meat...

Heh. You want I should put that on the cooking blog, sciurus?

Probably not, 'pode. I just snagged it from online. I've never cooked my kindred before...

Ok, I was sitting here trying to picture a squirrel-control device called a "carrot bracket". Then I was trying to figure out what body part of shane's it had cut off. Whatever a "mssg" is, those carrot brackets sound dangerous!
