Any one else see anything like this before? Last year they chewed the plastic fitting off my propane tank..this year 2 pairs of MC4 connectors totally gone. They where working on the other pair in the pic too.


Dont judge my wire management, its temporary.

The nasty little Red/Pine Squirrels are my nemesis, Ive shot 18 in the past almost 2yrs around the cabin. They also are at my home. They will tear up stuff!
Ate the top off my pressure washer gas cap this summer and tore a 12" hole in the bottom of a 18' mahogany boat years ago, lots of damage in between. I terminate them with prejudice when possible.

I've had them chew halfway through a leg of plastic patio chairs. Didn't know it til my son in law sat in one. 😆Also had them chew the edges of some wooden stairs.

Must be low on electrolytes.

No issues here, except I got in my old car in the shop today and it smells like piss. Yuck.

Squirrels ruined my wire last year, had to setup traps and fix every single hole I've had around my roof, otherwise they would just sneak in and chew on my cables...

Spent the day alone at the cabin working on a new window install....alone...well, except for the two Reds that kept mocking me. They used to chatter in the distance but have been moving closer; Ive even found remnants of chewed pine cones on the deck and picnic table.
Another 2 down with the 410, 20 and counting. Its sad but if I dont do it they take over the place.

I had five squirrels in the yard, trapped and removed seven. How many do I have left?








Five

One year at home I thought I had 4 Reds. I stopped seeing more after I got 14...... I have concluded that there is never just one left.
