Squirrel Wars
Backyard Wildlife Battles & How to Win Them
by George H. Harrison
Public Enemy Number One in America’s backyards is a one-pound busybody with industrial strength teeth and a luxuriously bushy tail: the gray squirrel.
Some people have nearly gone berserk in their attempts to outwit, outmaneuver, outthink, and outperform gray squirrels that plague their bird feeders.
This book solves backyard problems with squirrels, as well as with raccoons, rabbits, chipmunks, deer, bears, crows, insects, and a host of other "pests" that raid bird feeders and garbage cans, nest in chimneys, eat shrubbery, dig holes and tunnel in lawns, and attack garden foliage. George Harrison provides a natural history of squirrels and the other problem creatures so that readers can better understand the enemy. Topics covered include how to deal with squirrels raiding bird feeders; deer eating shrubbery and flowers; woodpeckers drilling holes in siding and roofs; rabbits destroying young trees and shrubs; ticks, yellowjackets, wasps; ants swarming over hummingbird feeders; bully birds raiding songbird feeders and nests; and safe trapping and removal of pest animals. This book offers tips, devices and strategies that will lead to a peaceful coexistence with backyard wildlife. Signed by the author.
