Hay, I here you, I have tried everything. If anybody has a better way PLEASE, PLEASE tell me.
Through my owne experance over the past 3 years here is just some of what I have learned.
Animal Control won't do anything because they say there a pest problem. I have even tried the relesing thing. Thats how I found out how far they can shoot. It's this greenish snot looking stuff. Real nasty. Kind of looks like grease shot from an air powerd grease gun with the needle adapter on it flying towards you, at about 25 F.P.S. There just ant no way of getting out of the line of fire. It's like some one with a machine gun sweeping left to right, and they have plenty to go around. There is just somthing wrong about driving in your underwear then walking up to the front door that way. I can't quite put my finger on it. But after the seccond time and there was no booze or girls involved you start to wonder. "What the hell am I doing".
Only 2 problems with shooting them.
1 I live in the city and people Freek Out big time when they here a gun shot. Then they tell me I'm cruel. O--K----
2 Every time I did shoot one (and that was 6 of them last year) first with the Ruger 1022 then to a quieter 22 cal pellet gun they spray, EVERY WHERE. Then the place stinks for days.
There is just no good way of dealing with them. To catch them in a trap you need to cover the trap with a towel so they will go in. When you lift the trap they give you a little "warning" squirt. (the older ones will) Just enough to get a nice lofting order on your clothing. My wife has come to call it a perfume misting.
The only other alternative is, the gopher gasser, CO2, or the Honda Car tail pipe. And I have tried 3 of them all. There all just as bad as dropping them in water. Except once again you get the stink factor.
I have found that they are fairley easy to catch on the run, with a wood box a flash light and a gopher gasser. As long as there running they can't spray. If they are faceing you and thinking they are going to fight I just toss the box over them. They can't see you with a flash light in the eyes. They don't have reflective eyes. Great hearing and smell but bad night vision.
I know from my own experance drowing ant to bad. It's more disoranting and confusing. It was like I had no idea what was going on, or where I was, what way was up, how did I get there. Then some one lifted me out of the water, and instantly it was over, and I mean instantly. Bam, like turnning on a light. It was the strangest and "only" near death experance I ever had. Only lasted about 10 secconds but that was enough. Thats how I finaly came up with the trash can. It's instant, surprising, and only takes 28 secconds and it's over. I have timed it. It's not perfect but killing never is. It's just the best soulition I have come up with so far. Please let me know if you have better way. I'm totaly open to any idea.
Hell if you want, I will send them UPS to you, if you think it's a better idea. I'll try anything. I just saw another 6 more last night at the park.
It's only a matter of time tell they wind up in the back yard, tangling with my dogs, then the dogs run in the house and rub up and down the carpet to get the stink off there face, the house stinks for 5 weeks after that, along with the dogs. The dogs get wet then they smell again. Round and round we go. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhh I can't take it any more. Thats why I have my therapy truck. Someone please
