I ran over a squirrel today.

You must not be from around here....

Spray the pumpkin with Windex and they won't touch it. If you get a good rain you'll have to do it again.

I spent nearly $2000 to remove a squirrel from my attic and repair all the damage it did. I say kill them all!

OP, they're all over our neighborhood, constantly running across the street. They get hit all the time. Do they do damage to property? We're new homeowners so I'm kind of clueless.

Thank you. You have performed a public service. I aim for them. They are filthy smelly vegetable garden, compost pile raiding vermin.

They are squirrels not an invading army [lanning to rape and pillage. I bet you have alot of road rage. Take a deep breath and simmer down.

You know who else hated squirrels? That's right,

Yeah, hurting animals is entry level behavior for future serial killers! Kidding... Not.

Nope. I am a native. I lived in NW and parts of NOVA for 40 years. I moved to Arlington and this is the first I've ever had squirrels eating my pumpkins. It is insanity.

Too bad you didn't hit one of the millions of rats that live in G'town and terrorize everyone.

Get large containers of ammonia. I pour it around areas. I saw a mouse in the driveway coming from the basketball hoop stand and poured lots. They came scurrying out and I was hopping. If you have huge squirrel problems keep the car windows & doors closed. They will go in the car. Even if you like them cut down trees that give them roof access to the house.

You need anger management.

Seriously.

Look, sometimes it happens. I'm not going to get out and administer CPR or anything if it happens (mercifully, I have never hit anything; knock on wood). But, to aim for them? You have serious anger problems. A life is a life. And your post is seriously disturbing.

I'm a big fan of squirrels - I find them cute and fun to watch. But if a squirrel wasn't fast enough or savvy enough to avoid a moving car, that's just darwinism. Had he survived, he/she might have had a bunch of slow-moving squirrel babies who would have gotten hit by cars themselves. Survival of the fittest - it's just nature.

I've never understood how birds get killed by cars. I mean, they can fly. If you can fly and you can land anywhere, why would you choose to land on a road? (Probably for food, but still.) Again, Darwinism.

I don't think she's serious. No one wants squirrel guts all over their tires.

I was in a tax in San Francisco that ran over a seagull. It was awful. The driver didn't budge and bore down on the seagull, but I think he was expecting it to move. It stood its ground too (not sure if it didn't see us or if it was eating) and bump, bump. The driver looked in his mirror and cursed; I glanced back and saw half of it squished, the other half and its wing sticking up in a morbid salute.
