I have a squirrel who eats the nozzles off my gas cans down at the barn
---------
I always went to the local hardware store. They would see me coming and wonder what kind of animal I was trying to kill THIS week. They have special poison for squirrels and it's not supposed to do any damage to other things, except kill the squirrel. I had poison for every animal known to man.

You have a barn? Is it like De's barn? I mean, you are supposed to put your horses in there, but nobody does.
I don't have a barn. I had enough animals around without INVITING more into MY SPACE. Goodgod.

Last week, one of my medical personnel saw an ant in my kitchen. OMG! By the time, she left, I was absolutely nuts over these ants. Teeny, tiny little red ones, but HUNDREDS by the time the day was done.
I looked it up on the internet and sprayed vinegar and water at those mothers. Didn't work for long. Then bleach and water. Finally, I tried CAWFEE GROUNDS and (believe it or not), that worked.
Didn't matter as it gave me 24 hrs. to buy ant traps.

Some idjit exterminator told me to use a "have a heart" cage for flying squirrels that were in my attic. HAVE A HEART - are you absolutely NUTS or what? $600 bucks, and we caught one but there were more.
The honey went upstairs and killed them all because I was so hysterical.
All bets are off if an animal is involved.
Otherwise, I am so calm!
