The squirrels in my area are hilariously aggressive. In the summer, they drop acorns on my head or on the roof of my truck when I pull in the driveway. I'm dead serious here, and I know assigning that sort of malice to rodents makes me sound crazy...but I know my truth. They also like to grab tomatoes from the back yard and drop them from the trees in my front yard...so the first thing I see in the afternoon is a beautifully ripe, smashed tomato on the porch. My dad and I had a good laugh about it one time, because without a little rodent backpack I don't know how you get a tomato up there.
@drdawg I'm sure you have the best approach with the live traps. It's either that or napalm, and currently I'm all out of styrofoam.
