Odd squirrel question

[lowcountrygamecock]

So my trailer lights quit working recently and I finally got around to working on it today. I figured out I didn't have any voltage at the plug at the back of my truck so I popped the hood to check the the fuses and found a squirrel looking at me. I didn't want to run him out from under the hood in my garage so I backed out and tried to flush him out in the yard. But he moved and now he's hiding in the very back and won't come out. Anybody have any suggestions?

Patience. He (she) will leave soon enough.

High speed test drive.

Ha I like the test drive. I want to get my lights fixed but I'm not about to stick my hand in there to pull off the fuse box cover witha scared squirrel hiding right behind it. Hopefully he'll be gone tomorrow.

HE'S FREAKED OUT! Just drive the truck tomorrow like you normally do, He knows it's time to get out when you start it up, He must be a bachelor

Get a very bright light & a pair of binoculars, then use both to see if it's a male or female. Once you have that issue solved you can use a trap to catch another squirrel of the opposite ***. Bring that one back & set it down in the trap near the other one's hiding spot to lure it out. It should work unless you're unlucky enough to have a gay squirrel. If this is the case you'll need to start over with catching another squirrel. Whatever you do don't let the squirrel you caught out or it will run to where the other one is & your problem will be multiplied. If that happens & they're gay squirrels you'll be known to your neighbors as the "guy with the gay squirrels" on the block.

Yep^ what he said, or just kill it

Borrow a snake or ferret from someone.

Man just do what my old boss did. Close all the doors and leave the truck running for a few hours. Heck it killed him and he was a jackass so it should work on a squirrel.

 

[Spareparts]

Put some Ammonia in a spray bottle and spray close to not on it, he will leave quick

 

[pmiranda]

Or vinegar... critters don't like that either.
Or borrow the snake from the feller that got one in his garage

I like the test drive ides, with a little luck the fan or a drive shaft will get the little bas#$@d

when was the last time you washed your truck? may be time to take it to the car wash.

 

[JCQuick]

My Weimaraner loves squirrels, well chasing them mostly but trust me it would leave the garage

 

[lowcountrygamecock]

Thankfully he was gone this morning so I'm good.

Got a pellet gun? Shoot it and be done. Don't use a .22 as you will end up overpenetrating and hitting the vehicle.

Spray a few drops of oil on the exhaust manifold,close the hood, let it run and smoke him out.
