    I'm curious to see how this boils out. I returned home recently to find that an unknown creature has eaten away the heat and air tubing under my house after chewing through the outside barrier by the air conditioner. It makes lots of noise at night, and stays right under my bedroom, sounds like it is trying to come through the floor after me. I'm trying to avoid crawling down there with a buckshot pistol, but so far all other options have failed.

    You could call some rednecks. They love to eat squirrels.

    Here it is martins that eat cars.

    Skunks and weasels have also been known to destroy the underside of houses.

    But MRD is right about them good ol’ boys. You need local help. Or you could try a bird feeder and a shotgun.

    Chemicals, use them.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Indoctrinate him so he will return to his herd (or whatever groups of squirrels are called) so he will persuade his family and friends to stop their attacks.

    Must be careful, though, lest they crawl under the house and die and cause a literal stink that may be impossible to find without a trained dog. Even with a trained dog, the carcass could posion the dog.

    Crush rat poison tablets and sprinkle the powder all over the mouse. Then let it go. If all goes well, it will head straight to it comrades, and will end up poisoning them all. If all does not go well, the rat hides in your food cupboard, you get poisoned and die, and the rats eat you. Could work quite well, though.
