I am experiencing anxiety now every damn time I open my backdoor. Yesterday the damn squirrel and a week before that blood everywhere. My porch was my happy place. I hope it will be again. Right now though it isn’t.
I’m trying to find my goosfraba.

It creeps up on you doesn’t it! I don’t mean squirrels…I mean anxiety 🙂
It sure does! I thought, I’m good but could feel it weighing on me every single time ai went outside.
Yous should hire somebody ta whack him. 😉
Yeah, there are very little good options. Believe it or not, it’s actually illegal in most states to kill or harm squirrels in any way. Around here, they tear up our front and back yard and poop all down the side of our fence. They’ve tried to tear up the neighbor’s awnings too. We’re not allowed to hurt them, but that doesn’t mean I can’t chase em off with a garden hose and spray nozzle
I do have a super soaker and it was purchased just for the squirrels. They’re crazy. I sure did have time to grab it that day though. Hopefully no more climb on me!
No, you need a garden hose and sprayer. The little beasts are hard headed and keep coming back unless it’s like the “Drinking from the Firehose scene from UHF, lol
NOT advocating drowning them or causing real harm. Just letting them know in no uncertain terms they’re not welcome
I’m gonna have to get someone to figure out why I don’t have much water pressure in order for that to work. Lol!
Heh, or a pressure washer, LOL.
The typical answer for that is that you have galvanized metal pipes that have rusted out on the inside and are restricted internally. Not the only cause by any means but the most common. Google ‘water pipe internal restriction’ and you’ll see what the insides of the pipes can get like.
So I got that going for me! 😂😂😂 Great!
That’s too bad. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Maybe if you rearrange the things on your porch (if you have room to have anything) it will help. What a strange thing to happen in the first place.
It is very strange! I was thinking same thing. Get my chair out of the corner of porch. Cause twice before this a squirrel has run up to me. Third time ran up onto me! I used to think they were cute. Less cute now.
Squirrels mean business out your way…
Yup! Bastards!
