"You obviously enjoy the challenge of killing the critters - you wouldn't have an air rifle or the desire to build inhumane traps otherwise - but I can't see how your methods are going to help - other than by self-satisfaction"
Trust me, i could do without the hassle. Re the food on table, while there is logic in that statement, thats exactly what i did two years ago. Bird table on top lawn, lots of nuts, and was bagging about 20ish a day!!!!
This is cool when i am there, but for the other 6 days, i need to think of a way for the inlaws to nab them. Looks like humane trap, wait for it to settle, then headshot it!
"what made you think it would "hold this wire" and "that one" (or similar) at the same time? in order for you to electrocute it? "
My idea(failed) would be to have two plates the same dimension of the top of the table, but split 1/2 down the middle with a wee gap, so the squirrel would bridge the gap!!
Sure the air rifle worked, but its a pain to load, you can miss the head, causing it to suffer somewhere in a bush. I thought electrocution would be easy and quicker for all involved!
