No advice but I want to share a squirrel story. My pops and I fixed this siding on a house that was having a squirrel / wood pecker problem. They were working as a team, woodpecker would put a hole, squirrel would fill it up. When we tore off a panel, there was like 200 ponds of egg corns in there. I have never seen so many.

Filled up the entire deck, was like a mini waterfall. Whoever originally built the house skimped out on a lot of studs. Needless to say the homeowner was not too happy needing more money to fix things properly.

Hey everyone, wanted to see if anyone has any tips for a recent issue.

I just moved to a new place (condo with shared parking area) which has lots of pine trees. This fall I noticed the red squirrels had started putting pinecones, leaves and pine needles in the engine bay of the Ranger (XLT without Engine Cover). I have to take a shop-vac to the top of the engine every 2 weeks.

I just had a terrible time taking all the leaves out of the cabin air filter as well.

I put mothball bags in the engine bay, but does anyone have suggestions besides adopting a cat? Any idea if I need to add mesh somewhere to keep them from entering the cabin air area?
You could get a video camera and "make some lemonade to solve your lemon problem...".
This guy has 105 MILLION views of his solution to a squirrel problem.
Pretty hilarious story.

These are the most entertaining threads. :LOL:
Op gets an answer in the first couple posts and the rest of the thread goes off on a tangent because of autocorrect or a typing mistake. These keep me coming back.:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Only problem Duke where you are you'd most likely be the one going to jail for doing this. :stop: ? Then the asshat that's jumping over your fence will be living it up in Dukes palace.:shock:
When this is the case might as well turn him into fertilizer!
