He tried to get rid of them using rat traps but it didn't seem to work..

Finally, he decided to put a camera in there next to the rat traps to see WTF is going on and why they keep avoiding the traps

Squirrel getting owned then super pissed off.. laugh

Edit - Watch it again...the little bugger is so fast he pulls back...it looks like he manages to avoid harm.

Then he wigs out. He looked ok. If that thing caught his nose or hands you would have seen blood.

I'm the last one to enjoy an animal in pain. I assumed the escape from what he said or wouldn't have watched the video. Like I said it looks like squirrels are fast and smart enough to get out of the way.

hey blue bear noob, had you watch the video, you would have noticed that he originally thought it was "rodents".

he didn't know what it was. I said squirrels because you know.. After that night it was confirmed.

naw... that thing nailed him on the head just before the ears. The fact that his right paw started shaking is a sign of neurological damage. His skull was probably shattered in several pieces. The charge at the camera was when he became conscience and bolted for freedom. He is probably lying some wear in the walls dead. It something starts to smell in a couple of days, you'll know what it is. wink

He isn't trapping humans, so there is no reason to be humane.

They are rats with fuzzy tails ffs.

Trap them with live traps and then make sure they cant get back in. Call experts and pay them to do the job. Be humane since they are arnt rats or mice.

So what if theyre rodents? Id still rather take them out alive then have to deal with dead rats or half dead rats.. Or rats cut in half/bloody. The humane traps are easier to deal with.

I can't watch cuz I know I will replay the badness over and over again in my head.

I can't even watch those abused animal commercials.

I hope he can find a safe way to trap them and patch the spots they are gaining entry from. Squirrels are so cute.

I don't think the squirrel got hurt. Suprised as hell, but hurt?

Do you really think it could take that thing snapping on it's head and not either be caught or at least bleeding? I think it scared the shit out of him and may have scraped him but I don't think it caught him. I don't think he'd still have all his digits when he pulled back if he'd gotten caught.

Seems apparent to me that it had fairly severe head trauma for how it's body behaved. The jump was in all likelihood, a delayed reaction blind jump as its scrambled brain reverted to flight mode.

It probably was a glancing blow, which he was probably lucky to survive.

I still laughed my ass off when he charged the camera though.

Poor lil fella. But.. he is just a rat with a fluffy tail.

My parents had similar issues with chipmunks. Animal control gave them a live trap and they ended up catching and releasing 15 over a 2 week period.

Apparently, they were living in a chipmunk drop house.

Tell you friend the first step in getting rid of this problem is to go outside and find out where they are getting in. Once you close that off live trap them and let them go outside. Problem solved, no one gets hurt.

Definitely a grisly video. Hard to be sympathetic when you realize the sort of damage these animals can cause though. A quick humane kill is a thousand times more preferable to the fact that the squirrel is probably going to crawl away and die somewhere with a crushed skull over the next few hours or days...

I am having the same sort of issue at the moment. I'm pretty sure I'm hearing squirrels in my attic. They have not, thus far, made their way down into closets / walls (that I can tell) but, on very cold nights, I can hear them up in the attic. Gonna have to hire someone to both find out how they are getting in and to get out what's in I guess cause no way I'm crawling around up there and falling through (little crawl space attic).

Tenkly your friend either needs new traps or to secure the ones in the video down; either glue, nails, or wedge it in with weights.
The trap flying upwards is why its losing lethality.

It doesn't sound like your pal intended to be cruel to the animals, and I believe he thought they were rats and not squirrels. I might have taken the same route of using rat traps without realizing they were squirrels.

With that said though, there are other traps/methods to be used for squirrels - not only the "live traps" that will provide a higher likelihood of a quick, humane kill.

There were two squirrels in that video - only one of them got hit with the trap - how does your buddy know that both of them are still there? I'd be surprised if that one that got nailed was actually OK afterwards.

Killing animals quickly and humanely is one thing and I have little or no problem with it in legal hunting and legit vermin control scenarios - and sometimes the law makes it such that you have little or no choice in methods with "pest" animals and whatnot. It's just not the most comfortable thing to think about inflicting a lot of suffering that could otherwise be avoided.

Squirrels caused a lady at work a few thousand dollars worth of damages. She had to resort to poison.

Here is a alternate solution. Grab a shotgun and like 5 boxes of shells. Any time you hear a noise in the wall, unload 2 or 3 rounds in that general area. You may not eliminate the problem, but I guarantee you it will be fun. Since it is your friends house, you won't have to stick around to clean up or pay for repairs!

I'm gonna tell him to glue down the traps, maybe that'll work.

You guys can cry about animal cruelty but it is what it is. They're invading and destroying his house, and costing him money . IF they die, so be it. That is life.

You guys are bumming me out. I like my version where the squirrel escapes unharmed.
