We need Pictures of the Offending Squirrel.

that would require two things

1) me entering his domain

2) him not rushing around the place like he's pacman on steroids

neither unfortunately are likely to happen for the forseeable

I hope he doesn't claim asylum in there.... .... you'll never get him out!!

asylum mate!!!! he's far beyond that, I just went to collect my post and there's a claim for rent supplement and jobseekers allowance from him

PapaQuebec · 27-04-2010 06:38PM

Well at least he's a grey squirrel and not a black rat. You'd have RAR on your case then!

Best thread title ever

Show him your nuts!

Hey man, its your call. You can wuss out like a timid animal, and we'll know you were bested by a fluffy-tailed rodent that measures a whopping 18cm when standing on its hind legs and has an inkling for cheetohs.

Or, you can get your ass in there, show that squirrel who is boss, and become a Legend of the Boards with your mighty pictures of glory and conquest. I'm also pretty sure the misses will be significantly intrigued by your chivalrous deeds resulting in some kind of reward that Mario would have only dreamed of when he rescued the Princess by jumping through fire and defeating Roid-enhanced death-tortoises.

You know what to do.

Pics? :pac:

Throw in the GF to appease the squirrel....she smells of hazelnut apparently and lets face it, her life will be made worthwhile as a sacrifice

Smoke. Squirells will run away because they think the forest is on fire. Get a bowl or bucket, fill it with paper, set it alight and throw some damp moss or damp leaves on it to create smoke for a good signal fire (according to bear grylls).

BADGER'S 3HR "WAR" ON FAMILY

A family were trapped in their home for nearly three hours - besieged by a crazed BADGER

I hate when that happens

Leftyflip · 27-04-2010 07:26PM

Reminds me of that badger thread from a while ago, anyone else remember that?

Noreen1 · 27-04-2010 07:31PM

If it were me, I'd put on a jacket, walk in (slowly, so the squirrel has time to avoid me), and open the window.
But, maybe that's just me - I have a knack with animals anyway, or so I'm told.:D

If you're scared of the squirrel, or you think it may be carrying some disease, the the ISPCA would probably remove it. It's your call.

Frankly, the squirrel sounds more terrified than dangerous.

Run a bubble bath and light some scented candles for the squirrel then leave it for 30 minutes. Should've calmed down by then.

pipelaser · 27-04-2010 07:40PM

Ya just gotta win the tussle with him and then use a cheese grater.

Result:

Or you could go outside and look in through the window like you said you did earlier, and take a picture through the window.

Easy peasy.

I went in there this morning and the little fecker had a little nip at my feet, lookily although fairly sleepy I managed to dart twinkle-toed out of there. Initially I thought it was a rat but then i went into the back garden and peered in through the bathroom window and it's a madlooking little grey squirrel running around the bathroom looking nasty. I've left the bathroom door open hoping he'll leave but I think he thinks it's a trap. Maybe it was the conspicious trail of hazelnuts that gave me away, anyway he's not playing ball and refuses to leave manically guarding his new home. I'm not sure what attracted him to the bathroom in the first place but I've had cross words with the missus about her hazelnut scented shampoo being the possible cause. So now the girlfriend isn't talking to me, there's a psycho squirrel in my bathroom and I am in desperate need of a leak....advice needed please

For God's sake shut the bathroom door. If it gets anywhere else in the house it will destroy it. I've had Racoons, Squirrels and a skunk in my house in the States at one stage or another. Somebody already mentioned a towel. Use two bath size towels and gloves. They can be vicious little bastards. If you don't want to touch it yourself use your cat. You wont see the Squirrel for the skid marks. Do it soon they will tear through the fabric of your house in jig time.

Fire.... and lots of it

Actually reminds me of a story my mate told me. He and his GF went down the country to a B&B for a weekend and they were getting ready to go out for a few drinks, anyway she left the room for a few minutes and he jumped in the shower. Just as he was starting to wash himself a big a55 crow flew in the window. He had soap in his eyes and couldnt really see what was happening but the bird started absolutely freakiing out- real loud squaks, bouncing itself off the mirror and windows and 5hitting everywhere. He paniced, jumped out of the shower and ran naked into the bedroom all the time his eyes stinging him. the bird followed him and contiued to freak out, bounce off everything in the room and 5hit all over the place. He reckoned the bird either had a heart attack or 5hit itself to death cos it finally dropped onto its back on the bed, dead. My mate sat down on the bed rubbing his bloodshot eyes when his GF walked back in to see him sitting naked on the bed, shampoo and soap all over him, big red eyes, feathers everywhere, the place ruined in bird 5hit and a big dead crow lying on the bed. He said it was almost worth it for the look on her face.

You could always send out for a Chinese.

Place some cooled (but still a little warm and aromatic) pizza on the window sill to provide him with an incentive to leave. Squirrels like pizza.

Provide the squirrel with a means of escape - a branch or a long piece of timber from the floor to the window or a rocket pack.

Last 15% of this post not serious.

Pete M. · 27-04-2010 09:37PM

Some brilliant suggestions there I have to say and the story about the crow has me sh1tting myself

I'd personally get in there and wrestle him to determine who was dominant, winner takes all, including GF.
Otherwise let the cat in and he will take care of him.
I put €2 on the pussy.

IvySlayer · 27-04-2010 09:39PM

Do you have a dog or a cat? One of those might should scare it out!

Noopti · 27-04-2010 09:42PM

It's a bloody squirrel!! You'd think you had found a Sabre tooth tiger in your bathroom....

What??? Has Donfers met an untimely demise at the paws of this blood thirsty squirrel??

jill_valentine · 28-04-2010 04:18AM

I hope the OP comes back to tell us what happened. I just don't think I could take another "There's Something Living In My Sofa" anticlimax.
