Don't stop in the attic.... Work the ones trespassing in your yard too.

Prep the cleaning station and make room in the freezer.
I spent a few years in the midwest. They eat good!

Squirrels or cats?  :dunno:

Freezer for the squirrels, dumpster for the cats IMO.  CB shorts are quieter than the longs and still work on both of the aforementioned pests, where legal.

being the uber hunter that I am... 8).........I waited until dark, and the kids were home.........I am NOT going in there in the dark by myself without someone to drag me out by the ankles.. :yike:.....especially with nasty squirrels in there. :yike:
Sure enough they are in there......saw two......shot one outright........that Crossman pump aint THAT good but eventually did the job :rolleyes: the second one hid over in a corner out of the line of fire........while waiting for that one to poke his head out........one or two more were moving under the crawlspace floor in the insulation between the rafters...................
Exterminator time..........gonna call him up.
In mean time I see them in the yard...........its WAR.
Hope the cat lady sees it too........maybe I can have exterminator invoice her.
There is damage in the insulation also. So I gotta get the insurance guy on the phone in the morning..........hopefully I don't have to wait until dark to corner one of them!...... :tung:

Poisoning animals is a real problem with snail bait. Make sure you don't lace cat food, peanuts, cans of salmon, or any other foods that cats and squirrels like with snail bait. Snail bait is only for snails and it will kill those other animals when used liberally.  Do Not Use Snail Bait Unwisely, or it will kill all of those cute kitties and squirrels.

Monitoring my surveillance cameras. Urban hunting sure has its percs.
Warm, wifi, coffee, 4 cams to watch............can't believe I didn't start doing this sooner.
Now its just wait and see how the neighbors react. Things can get real interesting then. Especially in THIS hilltop (Tacoma) neighborhood............ :yike:

CAT the other white meat.  When I was sick in Taiwan my maid would bring me snake and cat soup/stew, tasty and I'm still here to talk about it.

Stewed squirrel and dumplings with a side of mashed rutabagas doused in butter and black peper or German sweet n sour red cabbage, it doesn't get any better than that.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska
