Squirrels. Rats with a sense of fashion. Will eat just about anything, from pumpkins to electrical wiring to small birds. They breed like their cousins, the rabbits, and are sneaky. The best solution is prevention– do unto them before they do unto you. Bonus points for methods that either induce laughter or a healthy desire to call the guys in white coats. And now, for the Twirl-A-Squirrel.
