Bob Densic Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I lost about two dozen strings of green LED's to squirrels last year. Started losing them again this year until I took three steps;1. Had my wife stop setting out squirrel food which seem to draw every deadbeat, free-loading squirrel from a 3 county radius.2. Used fox urine spray to scare them off.3. Set up a program to run the lights in the trees during the morning and afternoon hours at 15% intensity. It uses next to nothing in the way of electricity, and the squirrels seem to know when they are about to gnaw on a live line.I also have a few slightly toasted squirrels availble for sale for those who want to try out their Roadkill Cafe cookbooks.

Bob Densic Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Sorry for the lack of reply Jeff. My wife did a similar setup on me with the Thin Mints.The memories are just too painful. I'm just getting use of my right hand back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LMAO when I saw those videos...JeffMaybe I'm missing something?Tempting the squirrels to food, just to launch them into a tree so they have easier access to the lights?I thought we were trying to discourage them from chewing on the lights, not deliver them to the lights?
