Went to grill some burgers yesterday, opened the door to the propane tank to release the valve and out jumps a squirrel from the underframe. Went outside this morning to see if he came back and out came two of them when I banged on the door. They must smell meat remnants or something that would require a deep clean likely. They’ve left some droppings. Hoping they aren’t trying to chew through anything.

How do I take out these little frickers? I was thinking a bowl of antifreeze left in that spot would maybe do the trick.

Plug the holes, and turn on the grill.

My miniature schnauzer would never allow that to happen. I’m laughing to myself right now thinking about the race if he spotted them coming out of that grill!

After grilling on my charcoal grill one day, I forgot to put the cover back on. Came back an hour later to a mouse that had grilled himself, coals were still very hot obviously

Fed it to the neighbors annoying cat, quickly died of rabies. Jk jk I’d never do that!

That is better than a mouse that I had in my smoker. I had to plug any holes with steel wool.

The big victor rat traps will take em out. Or a small havahart trap baited with corn near by.

Heard they took the ingredient out of antifreeze that used to knock out animals.

Have a .22 caliber air rifle ready to shoot after you open the grill door.

Or go buy a little varmint trap like this Academy

Squirrels will do some damage quick. Pellets are cheap and fun.

This and it’s your best option. They probably just like it as a safe home.

The have a heart traps work fantastic for them also, I catch them and dispatch them a number of ways once they are caught. Have a hearts are nice because they are safe for dogs and kids.
