[question] How to get rid of vermins?
I have an infestation of squirrels and chipmunks and mouse in my backyard.
They actually ate the plastic siding to get inside and then made nests of everything possible. They ate chairs, mattress, plastic jars, baseball gloves, etc.... enough to cost a ton of $$. we live in a wooden area with a tiny field and forests and rivers around my house so it's very hard to get rid of them. even if we cut down all the trees in the area, they'd still be here.
One reason is because we have bird feeders and that definitely attracts them but I'm searching for a way to get rid of the squirrels and not the birds.
in the past, I had an air rifle(pump 10 times to scare, pump 20times to kill) and that did the job for 1 summer. but then the mouse came in and they're so small that we can't really kill them with the gun.
So what I'm looking for it a way to get rid of EVERYTHING with 1 method if possible.
I'm on the search for a CO2 powered rifle so i can kill the bigger ones on sight. but for the ones I cannot see, i need a new method.
mouse traps?
cages?
poisons?
covering the shed with metal siding?
any ideas?!
