I spent a couple hours with some left over plywood and made a squirrel maze. I can't remember if I first got the idea on this site or somewhere else, but either way, it is not my idea. I just thought it was kind of cool. It is all assembled with pocket screws only (my new favorite thing):yes:
Squirrels are evil and will cheat if given the chance. You definitely need some acrylic (Plexiglass brand will work just fine) to stop them from cheating.
I have "squirrel wars" at my house.
No respect for any animal moving into my personal space. Many say "They were there first".....NOT! I've been here 30 years, and squirrels/*****/etc only live a few years.
They chewed through the cedar overhangs in more than one place and I tried live trapping them with no success.
Well, it turned into WAR!. I had the "TREE RATS" running across my ceilings and using the overhangs like a Habitrail.
They have been eradicated.
How big is that thing? I can't believe a squirrel will actually go in there. Oh wait! Young males are so full of themselves, they'll do anything on a dare, right?

Some will be docile and some will be hissing clawing nasty about it.
Some locals get very nasty about you trapping/killing off creatures and even have laws against it. Be discrete.
Release them 10 miles away or they will wander back.
