Squirrels chew through a metal gutter?

Yes, they can. Those little bastards have turned my yard into what looks like a minefield. My motion activated sprinkler keeps them out of my garden, but it can’t cover the whole yard. I ordered a squirrelinator trap that’s coming in today. I have to do something, cause I fear it’s only a matter of time before I’m in your situation.

They can be extremely destructive. They are a rodent, after all.

They won't chew through .22 lr.

One of the few benefits of two hurricanes was a dent in the population here. That and more daylight hours at home during COVID so I could give em hell with the pellet gun. I used to routinely see 5-8 out at one time during mornings and late afternoons, now it’s 2 or 3 a week and I couldn’t be happier.

Yes! They’ll even chew up the edges of metal roof vents.

Yep...squirrels. Sharpen their teeth on them. It’s really hard to believe just how destructive they can be. I had problems this winter with hearing overhead noise only in the ceiling area over my patio just as i walk through the door leading outside from my kitchen. I can’t physically get into the tight spots of the attic anymore so wound up having to have someone come out and investigate. There’s one in particular who thinks my back porch is his personal bachelor pad. I find cracked acorns (and empty beer cans) all over my outdoor furniture in the mornings. Here’s a daredevil too.. taunts the living hell out of my dog by literally rolling around on the ground right outside the window where she lays. I won’t kill him but I’ll trap him and then we’re going to take a little drive.
