My plan is to catch squirrels in live traps, dye them blue, and let them go. I want to see how long it takes before it becomes a crisis and makes the news. But idk how to dye them. I imagine they won't be too cooperative.
They make dyes for dog coats. Or you can use human hair dye
where i grew up someone used to catch squirrels and shave? or dye CUNT on their backs
>>3000318I'm wondering how to physically apply dye. I don't think it would work to grab em and rub em down with dye. I guess maybe lower them into a pool of dye while in the cage? But I dont want to drown them or anything.
>>3000316How bored are you?
>>3000331It's just a longtime dream of mine.
>>3000318Also, how long does hair dye last? I don't want to have to keep re-applying it. and I bet the squirrels would get wise to the live trap and know what's in store for them.
>>3000334Well maybe you could powder them with something that stains when it gets wet, right before it rains.
>>3000334You could rig up some nuts like little dye packs you get when robbing a bank.
or you could do the world a favor
>>3000316I'd be more concerned about the protective equipment required to avoid getting twenty different kinds of diseases.
>>3000334Use fluorescent dye so you can shine a UV spotlight on them at night and post the video on the internets claiming there are demon rats in the woods.

>>3000316What do you think?
>>3000326put them in a bucket with diluted paint and tumble them around a bit
>>3000316just spray paint them.
>>3000316being unemployed does get boring, huh?
>>3000339proud to be a subhuman i see
>>3000558gray tree rats are invasive vermin and ethnically cleansing them is a noble task
>>3000568NTA, but you just proved Anon's point.
>>3000570thanks
>>3000575Can you have one piece of your garage that isn't cracked 3 ways?
>>3000316Could you cathc them and just spray paint their tails? Or does it have to be the full rat?
>>3000316Bromine or iodine. Mercurochrome or methylene blue. Hairdresser preoxyde (although, you're technically bleaching them here).
>>3000568>>3000575judging by the state of the floor of your shanty shack you call home i can say you are not the most smart person in the village
>300057nein>300072ohkeep enabling parasites asshole youre probably the fuckwit feeding peanuts in my neighborhood i hope you catch the plague
>>3000771the only parasite here is you my manwhere i live in Eastern Europe, squirrels are just part of the nature minding their own businessyou sound like someone who got his mom fucked by a squirrel
>>3000335>I bet the squirrels would get wise to the live trapsquirrels are surprisingly intelligentyou'd have to mix up your methods
>>3000521wouldn't work, they'd cautiously poke their head in there first and the smell of the paint would keep them from entering
>>3000793Ask chemist to solve the paint problem.

>>3000798It is cyanide isn't it.
Squirrels are just tree rats. No need to simp for them.

Dye a squirrel blue and it will promptly become raptor food. All you’ll end up with are small piles of blue droppings under nesting trees. I hope you mistake them for blueberries!
>>3001799>it will promptly become raptor foodczechd and based
About to boot out a little asshole racoon we saved from certain death the other day. He was laying in the shade of a tree on the road and had obviously been hit by a car or.something. One front paw was mangled and partially degloved. He was extremely dehydrated and lethargic. Brought him home, let him rest for a couple days, got some pain meds in him so he could snap out of his funk and he started eating and drinking again. He is a vicious little shit. His paw is still mangled up some, but he is 100% better than he was and ready to get the fuck out of my garage. I'll give him a light paddlin' for being a little prick and send him on his way down the creek.
>>3001802Long pointy nose, affinity for shiny objects, part of the little hat clan?
>>3000326big spray bottle, or a pump up weed sprayer
>>3000787nta, but fuck you and fuck squiggers. yeah, they’re just hanging around being a part of nature until they dig a hole in your siding and dig out your insulation and drywall to make a nest.
If you can get the squirrel in a cage, it may be possible to dunk it into a tub of dye for around a second or so. If it's not retarded, it shouldn't drown, and since it's in a cage you won't get bitten or attacked.
>>3003907Third world take.
>>3000882guess again
>>3000882Seemed more like a cyclone to me...
>>3000316>>3000326I'm told the hair dye brand Manic Panic would be animal safe and should be easy to use. You could just do a quick couple dips of them into a pool of dye while the squirrels are in a cage, they should be fine just as long as you don't keep them under for more than a moment and do multiple dips rather than long dips.
>>3001844did he come back and sneak in your house and empty all the cupboards? my uncle brought a baby trash panda home once and it destroyed his house in like 20 minutes. 5 years later they were still finding marshmallows hidden in light fixtures and cat food under the rug
>>3000326Cheap airbrush gun, automotive size top feed. They're for details and angles but itll be fast for them.Fuckin wierdo.
>>3000316OH SHIT.Nigga, I did not think of this...just give them water full of colloidal silver. They're turn smurf blue and you don't have to catch them at all. They'll LIKE it if you flavor it for them right and use attractant smells.It's permanent btw.
>>3000316Potassium permanganate will stain them purple for a while. Just don't mix it with glycerine.
>>3000316Why blue?
>>3005153You never blue a squirrel before?
the fur gypsies are back stealing all the fruit off the treesso i reopened the local rodent 1 stop full service chiropractic clinic and the 1st patient for a spine cracking was a bull who now wont be sowing any more of his wild oats around heresorry not sorry resident squirrel sluts. no whoopie tonite
>>3000316spray paint lasts longer and easier to apply noob
>>3003907> until they dig a hole in your siding and dig out your insulation and drywall to make a nest.I’m all for making sure you don’t have rats around your house, but squirrels are perfectly harmless. Also, if they (or any other animal without access to heavy machinery) can enter your house, your shitty cardboard house is the first problem you gotta fix before you can even start to care about wildlife. >>3000316Also, it’s incredible how this board full of>muh rural masterrace doing /diy/ and farming and shitLarpers hasn’t even once mentioned that there’s specific dies on the market that are meant to dye the fur of life animals. How about you research this first?
>>3000316whatever you do don't grab them, they have a tendency to bite into your finger joints and leave you with lifelong injury.
After you shoot em you could probably just pick them up and dip them in a bucket of dye pretty easily
>>3000568Thanks for helping these guys out-knower
>>3000798i get it
>>3006436I just had an idea - create a squirrel trap with a camera hooked to ai to determine whether it is native or invasive by fur color and kills the invasive ones and lets the native ones go, maybe with a little sound and vibration so they don't come back to the trapThis general concept could be adapted to any invasive population of other animals. Like somalians.
>>3000568I had a squirrel kill himself by digging up and drinking all of the outdoor ant bait I put out. Poor guy.
>>3000805underrated
>>3000882ferric ferro cyanide aka prussian blue isnt actual cyanide, its rather stable and non toxic
>>3000316is this you?
>>3000793Instead of passive paint brushes covered in paint, use motion sensor activated spray cans to hit them when they're in the "sleeve".
>>3000809that one's human activated, you see the string pull tight before it unlatches
>>3000805actually I think this one's human-activated too, you see the camera shake a little at the moment of activation. Yeah the fence shakes from the mass of the device, but the trees shift a pixel or two as well.
>>3009707i kneel
>>3000316Get some gas that will put them to sleep and find youtube tutorials, get the stuff from cosmetics shop.Id use brushes and rup the paint down to their skin also to avoid painting their eyes and ears in order not to kill or poison them, look for vegan options on hair dye, women are retarded so they probably sell those. The color lasts as long as hair grows, so they wont stay painted for that long.
>>3005026third worlder here. appreciate being included in this great discussion, but we don't have squirrels where im from.
>>3000316One of these but with a bucket of dye at the bottom and a way for them to escape?
>>3000316Put them in a cage and lower it into a bucket of dye for a few seconds, sheep dip style. Use food safe dye so you don't need to care if they get it in their eyes or swallow some.
>>3000568How so, what problems do they cause?
what you do to the least of these you do unto me
>>3011446Gray squrrels are ground squirrels and will excavate under slabs and foundations and fuck shit up.
>>3011591oh, i though all squirrels were tree squirrels
Not the squirrel killing guy. I just have a stray cat that comes around and does the job.Squirrels are not not harmless>inb4 don't use no double negativesGoogle annual cost of squirrel damage to infrastructure in united states.You'll be seeing #s in the billions
I have vinyl siding so I have no issues with squirrels. My parents' house has cedar siding, after all of the issues they've had with squirrels and woodpeckers I understand the hatred. There are many walnut and oak trees on my land, so I leave the squirrels be so that there is less food for the mice mice. There have been no issues with mice in the house, but eventually gave up the war with them for my beater car (New England). I must have killed 100 of those vermin before I gave in. But beavers are the real boss mode rodent, there are too many stupid laws protecting them when they decide time to flood your land and kill all your trees.
>>3012186Beavers are good and evil. We can put chips in their brains and have them terraform remote lands. Then when they die we can collect their anal glands to make synthetic vanilla flavoring.
>>3012188Who figured out the beaver anal gland/vanilla connection, and what exactly was he doing?
>>3012197I bet it was the same guy who was smoking banana peels and peanut shells, and licking foaming toads. Seriously though, I think Bill Nye discovered it. You'd have to ask him.
>>3012200If it was Bill Nye, then it is obvious he was just doing some beaver analingus...
>>3003907I'd be more concerned about that cracked foundation.
>>3000334Not even the most retarded thing I've seen on this board, live your dream anon
If youre american and think squirrels are a problem because they degrade property, fucking ask yourself why your property is of such shitty build that a fucking squirrel can damage it. Here in europe not a single fucking soul has ever had issues with squirrels because we build out fucking houses with stones and bricks and carpentry not with styrofoam, mud and fucking tall grass you fucking stupid subhumans haha
>>3000326Cage loads of them and put them in a bucket, like a sheep dip machine
>>3012321>hurf durf americans lolDumbass, squirrels aren't a problem because they chew through the walls they're a problem because they get into places through vents and tear up wiring and insulation. Or they dig up gardens. Or they fuck with bird feeders. Or they're just chittery little assholes that breed out of control.
>>3000316Mother fucker, made me look all the way back through my pics for the guy that was on here taxiderming squirrels into various action poses back in maybe 2017? I don't know how long ago, but the best part was that he was using googly eyes for them. I'm thinking he did a whole Alvin and the Chipmunks scene with 4 of them, complete with little microphones and everything. But seriously, you gotta invest in some googly eyes, those were the icing on the cake. Can't fucking find the pics though.
>>3009707Kek, OP?
Make a bucket trap that has one small exit with paint rollers on each side like a car wash that they have to squeeze through. Get nut, paint self, release self into wild
