Squirrels eating plastic fuel tank
 

My woman likes her red 8/32. (can we get an OLE!!!) It is always parked in an open shed and this year the squirrels have taken a liking to the plastic fuel tank. First they chewed up the cap but today when she was mowing I saw fuel squirting out when she passed by. HOLD IT RIGHT THERE LITTLE LADY. Lo and behold the little vandals chewed a hole in the tank. They must be mad that we stopped filling the bird feeders.

I guess I could build a tin shield around it. What would you do?

I'd get another tank on evil pray and shoot/kill/ poison/eradicate the squirrels.
:beerchug:

Doooooooo!:ROTF2:

Don't think they are cute! Those are rat with big tail! Get a dog or feed few feral cat! They can take care of those petroleum container predator! Wait! Maybe you can set a trap with that plastic tank as a bait! :biggrin2:

Oh I hate those tree rats. That's all they are. I had the red variety eat my hand grips off my ATV last winter.:angry:
Shot three of them off the bird feeder. Set a couple rat traps with peanut butter and a kernel of corn in the peanut butter, you'll get em. I'm assuming they are red squirrels, right?:bigthink:
There's other ways to get em.:biggrin2:

Care to elaborate about that evil plan of yours Todd?:HeeHee:

I have one too! Let them chew that tank full of gas and light them up! Now let see how far they go before they get out of gas! :biggrin2:

By the way...If I see that kind of red I poop in my boots.

Dang, those Canadian rascals are a mean looking type!

They look like baby Detroit Tigers! :biggrin2:

This is getting quite interesting.
Kind of like when white man headed west across America, I don't think I am able to eradicate the species. They'll just keep coming.

Prolly not, but if you get one of the breeders, you can slow them down before they take up permanent residence...
