[LarryFine]

Maybe thats why so many squirrels have Alzheimers.....eating all that aluminum is bad.

I believe in Massachusetts, National Grid hired this little known special forces group , they are extremely effective,.. as they themselves are squirrels , they can infiltrate the local population learn their secrets and attack with a precision seldom achieved by customary methods of eradication. Best part they work for peanuts.

Why shoot the squirrels they are earning you extra cash maybe you should give them a raise..or better yet a bonus...

They cost those that pay electric bills money ,.. not to mention all the lost productivity

this is a funny look at the issue check out the list of attacks to the power grid,... I assume they are legit,..if not,.. at least it made me laugh a little.

lol I love them little pests they are fun to screw with but the easiest way to get rid of squirrels is to quit feeding them or should I say the birds and employee a good cat..they hang around where the food is easy squirrels are lazy and kind of dumb..they bury nuts and seeds and forget where they bury them and then they could starve but they are scavengers so they find where the food is easy and hang out..

Now for my story on them we were in the parking lot of the college and there was a bang like a small explosion. everything went quite with no electricity..we had a terroristic squirrel attack. the squirrel shorted out the transformer and it exploded..dang terroristic squirrels..

That is to bad because it is HILARIOUS. LMAO

I had a job once where the squirrels chewed on the nuetral on the service drop. Eventually the nuetral broke loose.
Now,, what happens on a 3 wire circuit (2 hots sharing one neutral) when the nuetral is lost?
Needless to say the HO lost a few electronic equipment items due to voltage spikes.
The city refused to reimburse because they were not informed that squirrels were chewing on the service drop.
It's illegal here to shoot squirrels.

Some may say, it's only illegal if you get caught.

This is clearly domestic terrorism.
