Idunfugginbelieve it. I just chased another squirrel off the window where he was eating the plastic window frame. Shit. More tin foil mashed on the window frame, less time until I have to blow 10g on windows, less choices of what to buy, and more fucking rodent problems.

I forgot to buy a jabenero.

wow. I game too much. At first I thought you meant 10 "gold pieces" for new windows. 'Course, with the continued economic decline (*hush* don't say recession), it may well cost 10 gp soon (assuming 1.5 oz of gold per thick coin...).

Seriously...there has to be a decent countermeasure for the tree rats, but at least you are only experiencing cold rather than frigid temperatures.

Paint the plastic with a habenero sauce, see if the little fuckers like THEM apples.

That's kind of where i'm headed...I meant to get a pepper already but forgot, but I figure if I rub the cut pepper on the frame it'll be too spicy for squirrels.

The twat that lived here before me just put rat poison on the window sills, resulting in a slew of dead squirrels in our parking lot.

I'm not sure a plain old pepper will do it...we had squirrels eat our garden peppers.

Garden stores have this super-concentrated pepper spray with wax that might work.

Sound like a plan.
Not killing is really sucking right now. Well no, even if I kill these - unlike the ones inside my home, there are 10 to take hte place of any one I take out.

What have you done to incur the wrath of the rodent gods?
Yeah chase them away with a hot chilli sandwich. Or borrow a very large dog.

I think the real question is: wtf is up w/these squirrels likin' to eat plastic? 0_0

too bad you can't just hang an obnoxious windchime nearby and scare them off... but then you'd have to listen to an obnoxious windchime all the time. I wonder if the riddex thingie that I have [that has kept the mousies away] would work on squirrels in the windows? hmm...

regardless, the situation is lame. I like this spicy idea, too. :d mmm, spicy.

*Someone* hasn't been making offerings to the rodent gods lately. I'd advise staying the hell away from capybaras.

I really will send you some cat hair. That helps here along with the snakes. :p
