How do I get rid of the squirrels that are eating the wiring and hoses in my car?
Got in my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee to go to the lake the last weekend and it was hard to start. Got is started and immediately smelled strong gasoline. Shut it down to find the hose between the fuel rails was chewed up. While inspecting the rest of the engine compartment, I found one of the air vent hoses was chewed up and the wiring to the front drivers side turn signals was eaten through. Also, the ABS warning light came on which indicates that those wires were probably lunch for some squirrels.
I have a pump BB rifle however I don't want to be shooting it around my cars. I also don't want to put out any sort of poison that might harm other animals.
Traps or put a cup of antifreeze under the hood for them to drink while dining? [Reply]
1 megaton nuke will take care of any squirrel within 10 miles of your truck instantly, plus you'll have a nice radioactive barrier for years to come. [Reply]
I'd use gofer killer and drain o on the ground (keep dogs and cats away) this goes well with antifreeze... get feet wet walk though drain o. lick feet DED [Reply]
I think I'll try the mothballs... I used them in my boats however it didn't keep the cats from taking up residence in the winter time. I think I need to drive the Jeep more to keep the oil, gasoline and antifreeze odors present. [Reply]
