Anti-squirrel devices - GIFs

**Jon** · Oct 25, 2018, 10:52 AM

Someone call PETA! I've been saving a good anti-squirrel GIF until I found another one, and it looks like today's my lucky day.

Interestingly, anti-squirrel devices are often themselves squirrelly. Also interestingly, these devices, at much larger size, when used on humans, are essentially amusement park rides.

The video was too short... I wanted to see how the spinning squirrel ejected from his nauseating carnival ride.

The catapult almost made me spit out my coffee.

They need to build some of those catapults into the border wall.

I want the plans for the catapult!!! Squirrel-pult?

Here's a better 0:28 video of the squirrel catapult, and looks like you're in luck, because plans are being offered for $1. You have to wonder if the squirrel returns for additional catapult rides.

Already found it and got the plans. Pretty simple which is good. Well worth $1. I'm still laughing.

Still laughing 5 minutes later and reminds me of "Ethyl the Pirates Daughter" and several of her offspring with the same attitude. They used to terrorize my barbecue on the upper deck until we finally came to an agreement...don't mess with my barbecue and we wont eat you. I also mounted a $10 HFT motion detector with a 100db beeping alarm under it, and could carefully lift the cover to disarm it for use. But for a buck and a camera to catch the thrill of the ride would be worth it.

Surprised the video only has 274k views and 1.4K likes since May but do wonder how many plans he has sold...Might want to sign him up Jon! I would guess return trips for the ride would depend on the food in the plate...Dare I wonder what goes on in a squirrels mind. But the Squirrel Go-Round would be another story...think Ethyl would have gotten a kick out of it.

Thanks Jon, More Please!!!

Slinky method. 1:21 video:

I have a family of squirrels that like to empty out our feeders. I am going to give the slinky trick a try. My wife has discouraged the use of C-4, so hopefully this works.
