Do mice store and eat acorns like squirrels?

My sister has been finding acorns in a variety of odd spots in her log cabin out in the country. There does not appear to be any mouse droppings or chewings near by. She has found mice in her cabin in the past. Do mice store and eat acorns like squirrels to? She found one on top of the TV (!!) and a whole row neatly tucked into the area between the mattress and the box springs on her bed. Freaky! We think it's probably mice, but have just never heard of them gathering and storing them up like squirrels. Anyone else had this experience?Do mice store and eat acorns like squirrels?
no, mice sometimes find and store food/trash and eat it later but they dont store acorns like squirrelsDo mice store and eat acorns like squirrels?
Never had this happen but i have delt a great deal with animals. ive never herd of mice storing food in there mouths, but there are a lot of different types of mice and roddents. i know chipmuncs are smaller and they do it, so that might be the explanation. it has to be some kind of roddent. you just have to see what kind live in her area so you can narrow the search down for what type of roddent it is...

  • Do squirrels ever eat smaller animal such as mice?

    Yes, sometimes they eat mice and birds.Do squirrels ever eat smaller animal such as mice?
    they ususally do not inless they are really hungray.Do squirrels ever eat smaller animal such as mice?
    I wouldn't be surprised. They look cute but they are nasty little buggers.
    They don't hunt them, but all rodents are not opposed to eating flesh if the need arises from lack of other food sources. A mother squirrel will eat her own young in times of food scarcity. Most likely to eat another animal (carcass only, they're not hunters) is mother squirrels who have higher protine needs.
    No. Squirrels are vegetarians.
    Yes they will eat smaller animals - particularly small rodents. I've seen ground squirrel species eating mice in the past - it just depends what's available to them at the time - sometimes they just see it as an easy meal and take what they can.
    squirrels are not necessary vegetarians..... They will raid a birds nest for the eggs... and even tiny birds... they have been known to eat dead mice... ( if they cant find anything else)... I dont think a squirrel could catch a mouse. lol


    they eat insects. and all that other good stuff..


    why u ask?
    no - squirrels are not meat eaters
    This place says they eat carcass if nothing else is available.
    there not meat eaters.here is something you can do if you enjoy seeing them screw the cap of a peanut butter jar to a tree and cut the bottom off they love it
    no, maybe an occasional bird egg, but that's it

    Was God lacking imagination when he made squirrel, chipmunk, groundhog, prairie dog, mouse, rat,or are they of

    the same family and basically similar because they all evolved from the same ancestor, which makes a lot more sense than saying God has no imagination.Was God lacking imagination when he made squirrel, chipmunk, groundhog, prairie dog, mouse, rat,or are they of
    Another important point is that Noah was to take one of each kind on the boat. That would mean that Christians actually believe in much more evolution than biologist do. Imagine how many types of birds have branched off in the few thousands of years since the alleged flood.Was God lacking imagination when he made squirrel, chipmunk, groundhog, prairie dog, mouse, rat,or are they of
    A mustang is a FORD, your evolution may have skipped a bit...lol

    I like bad squirrels the best.
    They are all tasty.





    (well, from the kitty's point of view)
    How do you know he made all of those, they could be a creation of breeding with oppossite animals and overtime became a race.
    if u were creating a series of somthing u would build on previous ideas and envision a change to a previous design ... or am i wrong ... i think its evidence of a creative God .. and taking evolution at face value is basically looking at creatures that have some similarity and coming to the sweeping conclusion that they MUST be related ... its ludicrous ... its like saying a corvette evolved from a ferrari ...
    Well, how about eagles, whales, octopi, centipedes, giraffes, bears, bacteria, frogs, sharks, earthworms, etc.? I'd say that's pretty imaginative... The world is very diverse, and what we have on Earth is far from unimaginative.





    But I agree, the reason why animals of certain groups are so similar is because they share a common ancestor. And even animals who are very different, are also very much alike. All mammals have hair, and even the same bone structure (pretty much), I mean even in a whale's fin, you'll find a bone structure similar to that of hands, which suggest that if you go further back we share a common ancestor with whales. If you look at DNA, you'll find that we are all made up of pretty much the same stuff to a degree, which leads even further to the idea that we all (different species) came from the same stuff on Earth. And if you look even further, you'll notice that all elements on Earth, including the elements necessary for life were created in the stars, meaning we ALL (including this planet!) came from the same place!





    dze... Just like Humans and Rodents are BOTH mammals and related to that degree, Corvettes and Ferraris are BOTH cars, and ARE related to a degree. In that sense, they do share a common ancestor, the original car. But no, they did not evolve from each other.





    You see, that's where a lot of Creationists get confused. They assume that because we share a common ancestor, it means we evolved from the Monkey. No, we BOTH evolved from a common ancestor, but not from each other.. just like the Ferrari and Corvette both evovled from a common ancestor, but not from each other.





    Just so we're clear, in relation to a Human and Monkey, we are related the way a Corvette and Mustang are related (both are Chevys); Humans and Monkeys are both Primates. Corvette and Ferrari are related in that they are both Cars. Humans and Rodents are related in that we are both mammals.
    Well, he was creating the whole universe in six days, so maybe he was in a hurry.





    But it makes more sense to believe in common ancestry.
    Entertainment value. Ever see a grown person run from a mouse or rat. God knew what he was doing!

    Squirrels or mice in attic?

    I think we have a squirrel or a mouse in our attic. We don't want to use poison because we have blow in insulation and if it dies up there we will never find it. Anyone with this problem before? Serious answers only pleaseSquirrels or mice in attic?
    Have you seen the show Verminators? I'm not suggesting hiring them, but they use this sticky board and put peanut butter on it to leave for the mouse to find, get stuck to, and die. Mouse traps can be found where you leave them. Trapping cages would work too, if you want to keep it alive.





    I don't know if you're intending to kill the thing or not, but getting rid of it without hurting it most likely isn't going to happen.Squirrels or mice in attic?
    Seems like people always want to believe it's a squirrel that they hear. You won't hear mice (they're too small) and they don't usually go in attics anyway. More often your culprit is roof rats.





    Roof rats are an arborial rat ( they like heights ). If you hear them during the day, and you have a small stream nearby, they're almost certainly roof rats. They are nocturnal and squirrels aren't. So they will be inside during the day while squirrels will be outside foraging during the day.





    The best solution is traps. They are best set in pairs as sometimes the first will just get a foot or tail. While they are jumping around trying to get loose the second one will get him. If one gets caught in just one and gets away, you'll never kill it with a trap after that. There smart that way.





    Do not place traps directly near an opening or run in the insulation. They will notice the change. Place them along walls or HVAC units or close by visible droppings. Use peanut butter for bait, as it will last much longer than cheese without drying out.





    Check every day as they stink pretty quick in the heat and replace any traps that have killed with a new trap.





    After you are sure you have got them all, don't forget to find how they got in and seal these openings, Oh, an adult roof rat can fit through an opening the size of a quarter. Also trim any tree limbs that are near the roof. This is almost always how the gain acces to your house in the first place.

    Please, please help? I am desparate. I hear mice or squirrels building a nest underneath my kitchen sink.?

    Yet I live in a home with no cellar underneath - only a teeny, tiny crawlspace. Although animals are unable to enter my home - (I covered ALL cracks and holes) - their persistent nesting noises are disconcerting. Not to mention the fact that I don't want them building a nest around my pipes and heating vents! Is there any product - safe around house pets - that will deter these noisy pests? A friend told me she purchases something you plug in the wall, and it seems to be working for her. She never sees mice around/in her home. Please help? What do you recommend as the safest, best natural or electronic product?


    Thank you.Please, please help? I am desparate. I hear mice or squirrels building a nest underneath my kitchen sink.?
    Electronic devices such as strobe and ultrasound emitters do not work. Government tests have proved this. You may see short-term results, but long-term, it is not a solution.





    Call an exterminator and ask for a free estimate. They will come over and take a look. Once you know what you are dealing with, you can either hire the person or do the pest control yourself.Please, please help? I am desparate. I hear mice or squirrels building a nest underneath my kitchen sink.?
    Only some of the gadgets you plug in a wall will irritate some of the mice and rodents. I bought Smarter Image's Mouse Mover and it worked, kind of. The mice ran out of the living room into the bedroom. So for my house I guess I need at least two.


    (PS there's many bad reviews for the mouse mover and it's no longer made.)


    I read more ratings and you need a device for each room/area. So one for each bedroom and bath, ,but only one for the living/dining/kitchen. And it will take 2-3 weeks to drive them away.





    I looked at Amazon.com. There are reviews for the various ultrasonic repellers gadgets, so you may make a more informed choice.





    I've also read a cotton ball dipped in Oil of Peppermint is repugnant to mice and rodents. They'll stay away simply cause it smells so awful. The 1 oz bottle costs about $5 at the local health food store.


    Don't buy Peppermint extract, then you'll only have drunk mice.
    Hi from France 鈾?br>




    Buy the same that your friend, but why are you so afraid with these little animals ?





    Have a nice week-end,





    Cat.
    Mice hate the smell of peppermint. If you could get that in there, they might leave. It should run other things off too.





    That is going to smell bad when you turn your heating vents on.

    Are they mice or squirrels?

    Today I was in my shed and there were these pink and purple rodents just born.


    I'm not going to kill them but if they are rats then I will have to drop them off somewhere like the pound or maybe PetSmart/PetCo because I don't want them to be eating my things


    If they are squirrels then I suppose I'll let them be


    Can someone explain the difference or maybe give me a link of pictures so I can identify and know w/ they are?


    I hope the mother comes back because I don't want them to die


    Are they like birds that if you touch them, they will abandon them?


    Thanks in advance (:Are they mice or squirrels?
    This website may help you i think....Are they mice or squirrels?
    Youll have to wait and find out.


    they could be mice, rats, squirrels, maybe a hamster someone let lose...
    Just let them be. The parents will return and take care of them, but do NOT disturbed the 'nest'. There is really no way to tell what they are until they get older. If you want them removed I would suggest contacting your local wildlife hotline, they will either come get the animals or give the number for someone who can help you out and find a good home for them.

    My kitten catches squirrels and mice and EATS THEM!!!!!!

    She's crazy! I always find a half eaten squirrel or mouse in her home.





    So should I worried about her getting rabies or choking on their skulls or something???????? My kitten catches squirrels and mice and EATS THEM!!!!!!
    She's getting herself the best possible diet. Raw meat and Bones. Be sure she has her shots and flea meds and has regular Vet visits. She's doing what cats have been doing forever! What a girl!My kitten catches squirrels and mice and EATS THEM!!!!!!
    It's natural for a cat to want to chase rodents. I saw on animal planet that cats are the number one hunters of the felines. I don't think you have to worry about her choking or getting rabies, just make sure she has gotten all of her shots. But if you want to limit the amount of ';surprises'; she leaves on your pillow, I'd just keep her inside more often.
    Cats are predators. Their natural instinct is to kill and eat smaller animals. If you don't want her doing this then you have to keep her in the house.





    Did you know that cats are considered wild? That is why you don't have to get them licensed like dogs. We were told that cats will automatically go back to their natural instincts once they are out in the wild, even if they have been a house cat for years and so the laws are different about cat licenses than dogs. Dogs will not remember automatically how to be a wild animal, but cats do! It's interesting.





    So, your cat is just doing what she thinks she needs to do to survive.
    Squirrels don't get rabies. However, if your cat is kept outdoors, of course she should be inoculated against rabies if she is older than 12 weeks.





    And she's not crazy. Cats are predators, and they hunt.
    My cat bring stuff home all the time. She's 11 and has never gotten a shot and has always been completely healthy. Appearently, the only thing you should worry about your cat shoking on is cooked chicken bones.
    She could certainly get parasites or diseases from them since they are wild, yes. It'd be better to keep her indoors where she's safe and not killing off native wildlife.
    It's just a cat thing; our cat killed animals until she passed at 24 years old! It's just a natural instinct. Make sure she is up to date on all her shots and she should be fine.
    lol


    Take her to the vet and maybe they can find out why she does that or keep her inside the house.
    Animals do kill each other for food

    Do mice and squirrels sneeze?

    Are reincarnated human souls reborn into a human or reborn into murderous mice and psychopathic squirrels?

    Hopefully not the latter.


    Reincarnation depends on your Karma.

By virtue of their present misfortunes the reacting effects of their past will be thereby worked out, and they will be in a position to attain the Consummation of Incomparable Enlightenment';Are reincarnated human souls reborn into a human or reborn into murderous mice and psychopathic squirrels?

    definitely the mouse and squirrel thing
    LMAO murderous mice?
    LOL...I want to be a squirrel
    Depends upon what kind of karma they accumulated in their previous life.
    reincarnation?
    You know, that would explain why NYC has so many cockroaches.





    *snare snare CRASH*
    I prefer the enigmatic elephants.
    some believe that the soul can go wherever it needs in order to learn a lesson, but murderous and psychopathic personalities aren't chosen, they develop out of spiritual malady. you'll only become a murderous mouse if your soul chooses to reincarnate into a mouse and then you refuse to accept the spiritual lesson you went there to learn.
    no some are reborn as SARS,AIDS virus also
    Of course not, mice and squirrels don't have human souls. You have been up to long and you need a good nights rest. I really hope you don't dream about murderous mice and psychopathic squirrels. Good night and sleep tight, and above all sweet dreams.
    There is no such thing as reincarnation.
    no such thing as reincarnation!

    Is there anyway to attract squirrels, chipmunks, birds BUT NOT RATS or MICE?

    I know a lot of squirrels like bird seed. You you could put some in a dish in a tree or somewhere up high. Just make it hard for the rats to climb up there. The squirrels should be able to climb a lot better than the rice and mice.Is there anyway to attract squirrels, chipmunks, birds BUT NOT RATS or MICE?
    Yes i have about 8 squirrels that i have been feeding for the past 3-4 years and i just throe out peanuts and sunflower seeds,i haven't seen any mice.etcIs there anyway to attract squirrels, chipmunks, birds BUT NOT RATS or MICE?
    Do you live in the mountains close to see Squirrels and chipmunks,and bird go to you local pet shop ask for critter mix it has peanut, corn and sunflower seed plus you can make you our mix if you want.

    Rats, mice or squirrels in my walls? ?

    At night I am awaken by scratching noises and ';squealling'; sounds. I thought it would be mice, but my parents said they don't make that much noise. Any advice?





    I haven't found droppings in the house, so far. Rats, mice or squirrels in my walls? ?
    rule of thumb for me has always been noises at night usually are rats...during the day squirrels (there are exceptions such as flying squirrels are nocturnal..nesting squirrels can be making some noises at night at times) if mice population is high enough where you can hear them squealing, there would be plenty of other evidence around that they are the problem. My guess is rats.





    would need an inspection to know for sure what you have...need to see droppings...trail size in the insulation where the rub markings are..even know what part of the country you are at to know what possible wildlife you have aroundRats, mice or squirrels in my walls? ?
    Last year we heard squealing sounds in bathroom ceiling and it turned out to be a family of ermine (mink). Any scratching/squealing you're hearing is likely nesting moms and newborns of some rodent variety. Our ermine found other accommodations after we found the place they got in and fixed it. This year we had mice. After we fixed the place where they got in, we caught them in a Hav-a-Heart trap and released them back into the wild.


    Hope you'll consider addressing your problem in a humane and non-poisonous manner. Best of luck!
    You can buy poisoned bait, which should be sprinkled onto a piece of paper or a paper plate so you can remove uneaten bait easily and safely. Be sure to keep pets and children away from the bait. If signs of mice still persist after three weeks, resort to traps. Humane traps capture mice alive in a cage or box, enabling you to deposit them elsewhere. Or you can use spring-loaded traps.
    For rats and mice place a few bait traps around the exterior of your home. Tomcat is a brand here that is popular. The critters eat it and then seek water which takes them away from their nest to die.


    If you can find their entry point, wait until you've had a few quiet nights and then seal it with expanding foam.
    Call an exterminator, the electronic repeller we have doesn't work at all. Rat traps if you can find where they are getting into the wall.
    Use the Riddex Plus, plug in rodent deterrent. They'll leave.

    Gardening beginner: Would birds, mice, or ground squirrels eat your plants?

    If so, how can I keep crows, birds, rats, mice, or ground hogs/ground squirrels out of my garden?





    I would prefer not to kill them myself, or use Poison. so what can I do? get a couple of garden snakes and release them?





    (I live in Texas by the way, if that matters)Gardening beginner: Would birds, mice, or ground squirrels eat your plants?
    Rabbits and squirrels are what might eat them. What about armadillos? I don't know what they eat. A 2' high wire fence will keep rabbits out, I don't know what plants the ground squirrels might eat but I don't think they'll be a problem. Put a couple rubber snakes in garden, move them from time to time to keep birds out.

    Why are people afraid of mice and spiders but not squirrels and ants?

    I think it's cultural - because I have a few Chinese friends who are super afraid of squirrels (squirrels? I love squirrels.. they're SO CUTE). In the US we're taught that mice are dirty and likely to have disease, and spiders can bite and cause us to become ill or lose a finger or whatever. Ants (unless they're fire ants or some rare type of African ant) are viewed as little and harmless... some people find squirrels annoying because they steal all the seeds from the bird feeder and take vegetables from the garden or dig holes, but they also have fluffy tales and hop around and ';munch'; on acorns (the word munch just can't be used for scary things). Some people think they are rabid. My Chinese friends said squirrels are like rats with tales and disease.. so.. yeah... I really think it's cultural.Why are people afraid of mice and spiders but not squirrels and ants?
    eww because mice run really fast.. i mean i do find some cute but some are so scary. and spiders they're nasty looking and their legs and eyes they freak me out bad. Im afraid of squirrels too! they just stop everything and look at you like they're planning to attack you haha makes me walk faster.





    I think people are just afraid of them more because we hear that spiders are posinous(some), they can crawl on anything which means your bed, and mice they can run really fast and the thought of one running up your leg is even worse. People have their own reasons to be afraid of something you won't ever be able to find an exact reason.Why are people afraid of mice and spiders but not squirrels and ants?
    Well ants are so little it kinda seems foolish to be afraid of them, and mice and spiders you come accross more often in your homes and personal spaces so people are more likely to form phobias about them.
    I don't know, I am REALLY SUPER scared of spiders. But not ants, mice, or squirrels.....
    umm.. i'm afraid of ants.

    Mice vs Squirrels: Which is the favorite?

    What are the difference between the two? Why are Mice domesticated and squirrels are not? A continuation of my VERSUS series.Mice vs Squirrels: Which is the favorite?
    squirrels!! they're cool!Mice vs Squirrels: Which is the favorite?
    favorite huh? Squirrels.........Taste like chicken.
    It's illegal to own a squirrel (probably due to the risk of disease), but I took in an orphaned one years ago. He was a fantastic pet and I quickly found out that they are taught by their mothers how to open seeds and nuts (mine learned by watching me open hundreds of raw sunflower seeds).





    Mice are sold as food for other pets, but sometimes bought as pets themselves (I've purchased feeder rats to keep as pets a few times just to save them from being snake food...LOL). But the pet industry is generally a heartless one...the public doesn't see what goes on ';behind the scenes';. For every pet you see on display, many more like it have suffered for the sake of a profit and to fill the consumer demands.
    squurrels duh ur a dee dee deee+nerd+

    hmm,just guess wich is my favorite...
    Squirrels have bigger nuts and bushier tales- a rather strange


    combination dont you think? Mice are domesticated, have been,

    rats and mice are more uglier looking...
    because they are known for being around filth and disease.
    Some are scared because it's unknown of to them.
    rats and mice are associated with garbage and disease, while hamsters and gerbils are considered cute pets.
    im scared of them all
    i think they are just chicken i am not afraid of these animals
    Because rats and mice usually usually pay unexpected visits to peoples homes.
    probably because people always tell them about how rats and mice are grouse with diseases on them, and you almost never hear about any of the others ones having diseases. but i love them all either way.





    [sorry for typos]
    I'm not I love them all!
    I'm scared of all that stuff
    i dunno... i'm not scared of them...





    i once caught a baby mouse and kept it as a pet for quite a long time... freaked my mom out :P
    Nope I had a pet rat so why people would be scared of em i dont know
    Rats and mice are often associated with disease (bubonic plague) and theft of your food. I know many people who think squirrels are rats with fuzzy tails.





    The others have been domesticated and, therefore, not as scary.

    It really doesn't even work for mice. You should get a hava-hart live trap.

    Glue traps will never work for squirrels. If you do not want to mess with a live trap and having to drive down the road to turn them loose, get a Rat Zapper. It successfully kills squirrels and is very easy to use. http://ratmousezapper.com/

    It is a weird cultural thing and fear about mice and rats because we see their antics more than we do other rodents such as squirrels or chipmunks.


    The squirrels and chipmunks probably cause damage, but they are cuter so we abide them.


    Mice and rats are destructive I agree, but since they are urban, we fear them more.


    In reality screening all entryways into your house, cleaning up any possible food source outside, and possibly humane traps are best.


    But remember, all of these creatures are very wary and sly and have a part in our ecology.


    Man has almost domesticated the rat with his poor living habits.


    Vector control is a very big business and I suppose that the Pest Control companies propagate myths to have this perceived need continued.

    Do I have mice, bird, or squirrel in my wall?

    I heard a scratching, clawing noise on my wall near the front door around 9pm tonight. I went outside and figured it entered in between the space where the vinyl siding and front exterior facade meet. There are a few areas that a rodent could enter. It stopped scratching when I hit on the wall. I don't know if it's a mouse or a squirrel or a bird. Any thoughts?Do I have mice, bird, or squirrel in my wall?
    Birds are inactive after dark,probaly squirrel or mouse or bats.Do I have mice, bird, or squirrel in my wall?
    Likely a mouse or squirrel. If your looking to plug up the space, wait till they get out looking for food in the day then close the space up. You don't want a dead rodent in you walls! Else you can get a specialist to put in a one way door in the space so that if they do get trapped, they can get out but not back in. OR you can try and finagle one yourself.





    Hope that helps.
    This time of year it is probably a bat, or a few. If you have access to the interior of the wall, you can get rid of the rodents with moth balls.


    It smells bad, but the bats don't like it either. If it is a squirrel, you will have to find out how it is getting in and block the entrance.
    It could even be a cat that has mistaken your house for its own.

    I need help differentiating between mice scat and flying squirrel scat one of which lives in my attic.?

    Flying Squirrel Scat is going to be larger than a grain of rice and will be less frequent (although still plenty of it) than mice scat. You can set live traps for either, I have trapped both animals before, just remember if you do set a trap and catch a flying squirrel it will release a very musky smell and when you open the trap it will shoot out of there like a bullet! If it is a mouse then you can tilt the trap vertically and you can open the trap without the mouse jumping out!I need help differentiating between mice scat and flying squirrel scat one of which lives in my attic.?
    I don't know what squirrel scat looks like but I do know about mice. Mice scat is tiny little ';turds'; about 1/4 of an inch long and there should be lots of them. They are brown or black. I have mice at work, so I see the scat all the time. It kinda reminds me of dark brown rice. It is more prevalent close to the nest, but is usually everywhere. Good luck!

    I found a pile of squirrel heads, field mice heads and a couple bird heads in my yard?

    My dog ate everything except the heads of these animals. Hes a cockapoo...what will happen to him.I found a pile of squirrel heads, field mice heads and a couple bird heads in my yard?
    He will probably use the restroom more often than normal. He might become sick due to excessive amounts of food or may acquire a parasite from the animals.I found a pile of squirrel heads, field mice heads and a couple bird heads in my yard?
    Try feeding him more and he may not have to eat these animals. I found that my dog likes the kibbles and bits homestyle the best.
    My guess is he will be farting fur and feathers for about a week. Other then that he should be just fine. You may however need to get him a hunting license if a game warden catches him and make sure you are not putting out any bird seed or squirrel food as it is against the law to hunt over a baited field too. My dog eats all but the head and tails. he especially likes squirrel feet. That's the first thing he scarfs up.
    Be careful he doesn't get bird flu!


    Once dogs get a taste for fresh kill, he'll probably be doomed anyway.
    Its a monster
    the next inevitable step if for your dog to learn the taste of human flesh. it is your turn to teach the dog. find a sacrafice and hand it over to the dog. free its soul. and thin the human population.


    and if you dont want the heads, ill take them. sculls are cool.
    Sounds like there is a cult nearby that doesn't like you, not the dog doing this.
    Yea, I agree with the cult idea...they're probably pissed at you for strutting around with a cockapoo...they're sensitive, lay off a bit.

    They meant to use Fox ';Urine';. It will chase the squirrels away. I'm not sure about the mice. Get some poison for them.
    For the squirrels buy a havahart trap and load it with a walnut covered in peaut butter. They can't resist that. Once trapped, take them to a local park but at least 5 miles from your house cause they will come back. Mice are rodents so buy a trap and also bait with peanut butter and SQUASH!!! Good luck

    How to keep squirrels and mice away from a seed filled bird feeder?

    I've got a bird feeder that I would like to put something above it (actually resting on the bird feeder) to keep squirrels and mice from eating from it.





    Any suggestions?How to keep squirrels and mice away from a seed filled bird feeder?
    There are special bird feeders you can buy that have built in squirrel gaurds. Look into a small e-collar (the ones pets wear after surgery) to place on top of it. Squirrely paws slip and can't get to the feeder.How to keep squirrels and mice away from a seed filled bird feeder?
    You can buy squirrel baffels that go over the feeder like a big metal umbrella or cone, but squirrels are notoriously adept at thwarting attempts to keep them away from food with these devices..





    Better system is an exclusionary feeder, a feeder that excludes squirrels and large birds from the feed, while allowing access by the smaller birds. They work on two different principles. One is weight - when the larger animal gets on the feeder, it will close the feeding access holes. The other is size - the feeder is inside a wire cage with the openings in the wire being too small for large birds and squirrels to reach through.





    You can find either type of squirrel-proof feeders at most wild bird stores, garden centers, hardware stores, or online.
    Is the bird feeder on a post or just hanging? I have one on a post and the post is covered in a lithium grease and it keeps them critters from climbing on it
    buy a fake owl or hang the feeder at the end of a thin, long branch
    Good luck. You can buy ';squirrel proof'; bird feeders. And you can also buy stuff to put in the bird food that squirrels don't like (it's mostly just Cayenne pepper) Squirrels are so smart. I had the squirrel proof bird feeder and tried cayenne pepper. I ended up getting squirrel food (corn on the cob) and putting it at the other end of the yard. That actually worked. The squirrel has only been to the bird feeders once or twice (that I have seen) since I put food out for him

    You can buy these boxes that plug into an outlet, they emit a high-pitched noise that drives away rodents, but doesn't affect your pets. They cost around 10.00-15.00, and you can get them at Wal-Mart or any department store, and they work well.Getting rid of mice(squirrels)???
    stuff steel wool in around the holes where the pipes come through the wall. Also check dryer vent and vent holes.

    Bring owl.
    Glue traps are the best method to trap rats and mice. I found detailed information at http://pests.in
    you can put a small trap inside a box --bait it with peanut butter--cut a small hole in the box--it can get in but kids and pets can't
    If you are the owner, caulk or seal all cracks in foundation or crawl space first..





    Mouse traps or sticky bait boxes out of the way of your pets is the best avenue to get mice. Making sure the house is tight will reduce rodent infestations. Get rid of garbage that attracts them.
    Well, this will sound cruel, but we're talking traps anyways... I've had great results with mice by getting a bucket of water, half full, a wire with a soda can strung on it, and peanut butter smeared on the can. The mice are able to climb up the side of the bucket, crawl out on the wire, and once they reach the can, it spins on the wire and the mouse goes off into the water. It can't crawl out, so it drowns. Works every time. And steel wool is the best for mouse proofing cracks and such. The trap may also work on the squirrel, if that's what you want. Apologies to all you bleeding hearts out there...
    soak some sponges in bacon grease, put near suspected entrance.

    Try one of those pest plug-in products. For less than $30, you plug one into your wall and it supposedly sends a vibration throughout your walls making it uncomfortable for the rodents to stay around. Works in theory for me, but I have no idea if it's actually working for us, because we never heard the mice and still don't.

    People eat squirrel in the south, with everything you mentioned minus the mouse tails. So yes, it is true.

    While squirrel can indeed be eaten, the tradition of squirrel with mashed potatoes, onions and grilled mice tails doesn't quite cut it on most American tables.


    However, you *can* prepare squirrel in a way similar to this; my mom made it a couple of times when my uncle would occasionally snag squirrels on his hunting trips. It's chicken-fried squirrel (tastes similar to rabbit) smothered in a really savory onion gravy seasoned with fresh herbs and served with mashed potatoes. No mice tails, though - she usually just settled for making a pot of collard greens with smoked hamhocks. Toss in some hot buttered rolls and a tall glass of sweet tea, and I'm one happy camper.

We had mice in our house and placed a pouch in the kitchen, pantry, and hallway. We've been mouse free for years. We change the pouch about every 60-90 days (side affect is that it absorbs odors, yea!). Our vehicles at work were having engine troubles because the rabbits were eating the wiring (wire coating is made from corn oil). We place a pouch between the wires every 30-60 days and it has saved the company thousands of dollars. We are never with out it.

    Baby mouse, rat, or squirrel?

    We found a baby rodent in the backroom (it used to be a shed, but it's now converted intoo a room)


    It's eyes are closed still, so its no more then couple weeks old at most. It's teeny tiny, probably an inch to three inches, not including its tail. It has very tiny dark brownish (a little grayish) hair, and whiskers above its eyes and around it's nose. It has little white fur on it's tummy, and I cant really tell if there is fur on the tail.


    Someone told me that it looks like a baby squirrel, but someone else said it looked like a baby mouse. The problem is though, is that we have an airconditioning unit in the backroom, and its high enough to be a window unit (which im pretty sure it is, but it's sealed in) and there looks like there was a nest on top of it. So we're assuming the baby rodents fell out when our aircondtioning unit back here was getting fixed, and there mother was no where to be found. This happened back awhile ago as well, during the winter season, I think.


    So I don't think it could be a mouse because the nest was pretty high up, but rats can get the high, and so can squirrels, of course.


    I was wondering if you could possibly help me out on what it might be?

    Well I know that baby rats and mice dont get fur on them till they are about 2 weeks old and thats peach fuzz at best. Sounds to small to be a squirrel though. Might very well be a baby rat or mouse. Rats and mices eyes do open at the age of 2 weeks old.
    You most definetly have a baby rat. They make very good pets if you are planning on keeping it! Mice are tiny when they are born, squirrels have fur on their tails.

    No, you want the large size rat trap. Peanut butter or raisins tied to the trigger, make sure you anchor the trap with wire because if you only get part of the squirrel it will run off with your trap. Are you prepare to finish it off if it is not killed instantly? Restricting side and rear access to the trap would be a good idea to.Would mouse traps work against squirrels?what kind of bait would i need?
    No, but rat traps (the really big mouse trap kind) DO! Between those, Tess (my dog) and my .22 we can actually manage to keep seeds in the bird feeders for up to 6 hours . . .





    PS I hate squirrels, little grey fuzzy f*****'s
    If you think the squirrel is mocking you, seek professional help, doctors are listed in the yellow pages.


    Mouse traps will not work on squirrels nor will rat traps. A charge of animal cruelty might encourage you to re-think that idea.


    Relocating is only viable for males or non-lactating females.


    Get a life, stop fixating on the squirrel and ignore ignorant answers.
    squirrels are too bg for mouse traps. get a have a heart live trap and trap and release them.
    Your best bet is to trap the squirrel and relocate it.


    Your municipality should have information regarding trapping and relocating rodents.





    If they don't then I assume you can just shoot the little bugger and bury it.





    Having said that, you might consider that the squirrel is actually a benefit to your backyard as it's helping in aerating the lawn.
    When I had to have squirrels removed from my chimney, the service removing the lactating female and her offspring used the small portion packs of peanut butter, trapped them live and then relocated them to a large park.


    The Muse


    P.S. You can rent the traps from your local animal control but the expense of equipment, etc. added up to more than the cost of having them professionally removed. If they're in your yard, you'll just have others coming to root around.

    So I don't think it could be a mouse because the nest was pretty high up, but rats can get the high, and so can squirrels, of course.


    I was wondering if you could possibly help me out on what it might be?


    Thanks





    (also: haha,, I knew it would die, so (because we found two of them) we set up a cozy cardoard box complete with shredded paper and a warm, snugly blanky so they can lay in, and we're keeping it outside because they need the heat (at least 80) and we got some kitty formula and diluted a bit. (dont worry, i read all about rodents. lol, they're fine for right now. we're getting a nice cage soon, once they start teething) )

    what could they be?

    Would a 350 fps air rifle kill a small game animal(ex.mouse bird squirrel)?

    hello would a 350 fps kill a small game animal(ex.mouse squirrel rodent bird) ill give you the gun website

    Thanks. ^^Would a 350 fps air rifle kill a small game animal(ex.mouse bird squirrel)?
    No, the muzzle energy of the Daisy Grizzly is 1.39fpe...It takes a minimum of 2.0fpe at impact to take even a mouse, or sparrow...





    $70 is too much for that rifle anyway.


    http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.鈥?/a>


    $46 is more like it...





    If you're looking for a multi-pump pneumatic for under $70 I would suggest the Crosman 2100**...You can hunt small game(rabbit, etc) out to around 45 feet with this one.


    http://www.pyramydair.com/p/crosman-2104鈥?/a>


    **2104X is just a 2100 + scope combo





    Or the Daisy 880

    If you can afford the difference, the Benjamin 397(.177)*** is a great little rifle...

    ***or 392(.22)Would a 350 fps air rifle kill a small game animal(ex.mouse bird squirrel)?
    Yes, but it is really on the low-end of what you would need. I would not personally try to take squirrels with less than 500 fps in a .177 cal pellet gun, and would never, ever try to take anything other than a mouse or sparrow with an actual BB.





    Check your local regulations, as squirrels are regulated as game animals. In some states (PA, I know) do not allow you to hunt anything with an air rifle.





    Also, many birds, such as doves, are regulated under an international treaty for migratory birds, so this puts them under federal regulations, and it's illegal to hunt them or other migratory game birds with a rifle. A BB or Pellet Gun is considered a rifle.
    It depends. Mice take 2 ft-lbs of impact energy. If you're shooting an 8 grain lead pellet at 350 fps, then it would barely generate enough energy (2.16 ft-lbs) to kill a mouse at the muzzle (or maybe 10 feet) if you make a headshot. Beyond that the answer is it does not have enough energy. With a 5 grain BB or pellet, it does not have enough energy to kill a mouse at any distance since it only produces 1.36 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.





    Squirrels and pigeon-sized birds take 3 ft-lbs of impact energy to kill with headshots. A Daisy Grizzly does not produce that amount of energy at any range and should not ever be used to hunt those species.





    So far I've been very negative about using the Daisy Grizzly for hunting. I'm going to be a bit more negative, and then I'll give you a better option. In all likelihood, Daisy is using 4-5 grain pellets to boost the muzzle velocity claims of the Grizzly. Which means that you probably will see closer to 300 or 325 fps with 8 grain hunting pellets. That will put the Daisy under the minimum needed to hunt mice/rats.





    Now that I've hopefully cured you of wanting to use the Daisy Grizzly for hunting, I'm going to recommend a couple of inexpensive pellet guns that are capable of being used for hunting. First, take a look at the multi-pump Crosman 2100 (also known as the Remington Airmaster 77) in 4.5mm (.177) caliber. It costs about $20 more than the Grizzly, but it delivers slightly over 9 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That's enough power to hunt mice and rats out to around 30 yards, squirrels and pigeons to around 20-25 yards, and rabbits out to around 15-20 yards with proper shot placement. Its a much better option and its still quite affordable. Another good option would be the co2 powered Crosman 2260 in 5.6mm (.22) caliber. At just under $80 its a bit more expensive, but it will give you 9-11 ft-lbs of energy (depending on the velocity you're getting from the co2 cartridge) which again is enough for mice, squirrels, pigeons, and rabbits out to around 25 yards with proper shot placement.
    you can kill a lot of game animals with a air rifle but you have to do work to it because i had a friend that had one and we kill kangaroos with it and rabbits it all so went through his shed and it was made of tin to do work to it in side it has a spring and you pull that out you can ether stretch it or put a stronger spring in it.


    when you do this the difference is unbelievable.


    if you do this just remember don't shoot your friend like you normally. do if your like me.


    just to let you no i put a v6 valve spring in my friends


    hope this helps out.
    it can if you shoot the animal in the heart or heart area

    Squirrel and mouse for mink bait?

    for mink trapping will squirrel and mouse meat be good bait. do they need to be fresh or can i let the flesh sit out and get smelly. and will mink get suspicous if i mix the carcass with sardinesSquirrel and mouse for mink bait?
    They dont have a mink bait at bass pro shops or cabella you can try. I guess if mink hunt and eat mice or squirrels then it should work. I would set it fresh and leave it. If you get a mink then fresh works. If you wait 3 days for the meat to get smelly and catch one then rotten meat works. Personally I'm getting suspicious of you wanting to mix sardines with mouse and squirrel meat to catch a mink.

    An animal that looks like a squirrel/mouse/rabbit in the face with black stripe in face...?

    I heard the guy at petco call him a baby something and its about the size of a hampster and he said they are smart and love to be close to humans....What was it??An animal that looks like a squirrel/mouse/rabbit in the face with black stripe in face...?
    If it is a sugar glider, please don't get one.





    Even the best professionals sometimes have trouble keeping them alive. Owning a pair is like a fulltime job! It's expensive, takes HOURS a day, and the poor things usually die very young. Also, buying one is very cruel since they need to live in groups to feel safe.An animal that looks like a squirrel/mouse/rabbit in the face with black stripe in face...?
    sounds like a sugar glider
    skunk??
    Sounds like a sugar glider. The reason the cage is so large is because they like to sleep up high (in the wild, that would be tree tops). It is true that they are not the pet for everyone, and they are very time consuming. They require fresh fruits and vegetables daily, as well as protein. 75% fruits/veggies, 25% protein.


    Doesnt sound all THAT hard right? I've had my 2 sugar gliders for 5 years now...5 years of cutting up fruits and veggies, and meats, and trying new things to give them variety...every night. Two 3 foot high cages because they're both male and when they hit puberty Angus chased Fergus around the cage and stressed him out for 2 days trying to mate with him...he felt the urge and well, Fergus was the only other sugar glider around! So they're ';neighbors'; now. I also put fleece around the cage to keep fruit from being spewed onto the walls...they spew when they eat.


    Oh and you won't see or hear much of them until you turn the lights off to go to bed. It works for me because I work midnights and get home at 2am. Fergus is watching me type by the glow of the monitor right now, it's 3:35am and he's just getting up to eat and play.


    They need a very tall cage, a sleep pouch attached near the top of the cage, wooden hidey houses, food bowls that cant be tipped over, an exercise wheel that is solid so their feet dont get caught, shelves and ropes to jump and play throughout the cage etc.


    Yes they can bond to people...but it takes a lot of time and patience, and a few bite attempts before this happens...if it happens. Angus, in these 5 years, is still not used to people. I think the breeder sold him to me too young. He's stayed really small compared to Fergus, and he's somewhat aggressive. I put the food in very quickly!


    They're very interesting and very neat pets...but I did a few months of research and reading, and bookmarking every website before I got them. It takes a very big committment ..and they live 10-15 years, so it's a long one as well. Do your research before getting them. This is a living breathing little creature that will depend on you knowing how to care for him properly.
    Sounds like a Sugar Glider.





    Here is a picture of one: http://www.sugar-glider-rescue-railroad.鈥?/a>
    A baby Monster?
    Sounds like a chipmunk? or Gerbil or something.


    I dont know we dont have either of those in Australia lol


    Probably some sort of rodent. google a chipmunk because it really sounds like that. unless you cant have them as pets i dont know.


    guinea pig?

    What is a good name for a squirrel, deer, and mouse?

    i am writing a book about forest animals.What is a good name for a squirrel, deer, and mouse?
    How about Scamper, Swifty, and Patter? Scurry? Nosy? Spot? Cheeky and Cheesy or Leaper? Think about what they do, how they move, what they eat, or the opposite (like Mammoth for the mouse).

  • Found droppings in loft about 1/2 inch long+heard scratching,could it be mouse,rat or squirrel?

    To big to be mouse droppings. Mouse looks like coarsley groung black peppercorns. probably a ret. Callout the pest control FASTFound droppings in loft about 1/2 inch long+heard scratching,could it be mouse,rat or squirrel?
    Rat.Found droppings in loft about 1/2 inch long+heard scratching,could it be mouse,rat or squirrel?
    The answer is YES, it could be......
    Take no notice of the other answer's it's gremlins without a doubt !!! Happy hunting
    Probably squirrels xxxx
    Mouse droppings are small, squirrel droppings are round, so my guess is its either a rat or and opposum. Dcon should take of either one
    Quite Possibly Raccoons
    Could be Mice or Rats, put a trap down and find out! I wouldn't recommend using poison though because we did that and it went off to die where we couldn't find it and then you don't have to worry about the rat but the flies maggots and smell!!!! mmm Lovely
    It could be the Bogey men ! -:) Seriously now Set a trap and you will soon find out. I am sure you do not want to live with them critters. Call the exterminator, quickly
    squirrel or raccoon
    depends were u are but i'd say squirrels stashin thier nuts for when they come out of hibernation!
    1/2 '; long and black? Yep probably mice, they do sound loud for mice but the p- board amplifies the sound! We had this trouble at the last place we rented after the sale of our house. When i went up into the loft to see what it was (serious I'm not joking) up there was a Squirrels dray(un occupied) Wasp's nest (un occupied) And Mice in residence!! This house was in town i might add not the country!! We were both glad to get out of there in the end!!
    We don't get raccoons in the UK Doh. Possibly a squirrel.
    I FOUND A TRUNK IM MY LOFT BUT THERE WERNT ANY ELEPHANTS
    sounds like rats to me and if it were me i would be out of there by now
    Whew! It ain't no mouse, Sounds like a RAT, A biggen.
    Squirrels or very large rat.
    most likely rat, but look on the bright side and think mouse!


    Put in a trap for both plus poison and see if that solves the problem.


    Good luck.
    RAT OR SQUIRL
    Having had rats, mice, squirrels %26amp; birds in this house, I'd say it is either rats or squirrels. Purchase a small ottle of Fox Urine from your local feed store or hunting supply store. Spray two or three shots of this(also available in powder form) where you think the scratching is originating from and/or where you are finding evidence. The varmit will leave promptly. Last winter a squirrel tried to nest in our attic %26amp; once we sprayed the fox urine he exited quite rambunctiously within minutes %26amp; has yet to return. Meanwhile it is safe for other animals(pets %26amp; kids)to be around

    It's more than likely a raccoon or a opossum.I have either a raccoon, an obese squirrel or the biggest mouse of all time living in my roof?
    lol ';an obese squirrel'; lmao that's funny, good one =] lol





    try takeing some smoke grenades fire works and tossing it up there, and when he comes out close it up if you've found the whole...if you dont have any smoke grenade fireworks, look on youtube, they have lots of creative homemade smoke grenades and airsoft grenades which could get it out the non-lethal way
    Oh god, if it's a raccoon, it could bite your face off. Don't go outside!





    Try tying some meat around your least favourite child and have them run to the road with a drum. The tunneling should stop pretty quick. The drum is so you know if you can start spending the college fund.
    lol use a broom and repeatedly hit the ceiling with the stick end like you would if someone upstairs was being noisy. maybe that'll scare it.

    How do you remove squirrel/mouse odor/urine from wood floors/ceilings?

    We have a 237 year old house with 24'; wide, 2'; thick floors and ceilings, post and beam built. We are beginning to remove the ceilings to expose the beams but are finding old nestings and very BAD odors in sections of the wood. The planks are irreplaceable and even if we did replace them, the expense would be enormous! Any ideas or products that would get deep into the woodgrain and remove the smell?How do you remove squirrel/mouse odor/urine from wood floors/ceilings?
    Nature's Miracle would be worth a try. It can be found at most pet stores and some big discounters. It is a natural enzyme that breaks down biological waste such as urine and feces. I've used it on pet stains and successfully removed the odor, too. You will probably have to get the gallon size, but the good news is that it won't damage the wood any more than it already is.How do you remove squirrel/mouse odor/urine from wood floors/ceilings?
    Why would you want to remove squirrel or mouse urine smells? Its a fragrance and gives old houses character.
    We used to but a bowl of ammonia in the room to absorb the smells at my Grams house. Also baking soda mixed with water. Or you can go to a home and garden store in your area. They usually have urine remover
    This worked years ago for my fathers car which had a fire in it due to a cigarette left burning and smoldering over night . Under the dash he painted epoxy paint .This is a two part paint. This removed that odor. Maybe you can try this on some of the wood,and see how it does. You may have to do a little or alot. I'ts worth a try.
    I agree with nature's miracle. I used it on the carpet on cat urine and my daughters puke and it took out the smell.
