I went up to the mountains today to visit with my favorite campground hosts. They told me that they have a squirrel in the 5th wheel and have tried to run it out with now luck.

Does anyone have any methods of ridding this critter from the rig? They told me it has been peeing and pooping on there clean clothes in the drawers. These are full timers and never have had this problem before. They actually saw the little bugger so that’s how they know it’s a squirrel.

Any suggestions would be great help.

Thanks Doug.

I would suggest a good .22 rifle loaded with rat shot.


It takes 43 muscles to frown, 12 muscles to smile but only 2 muscles to pull the trigger on a Colt 1911. Well I am old, lazy and tired of smiling.

Nope, pm Snowhawkwoman. I believe it was she who adopted a baby squirrel.




& I, I took the road less travelled by.

Yikes! How about a Hav a Hart trap. Not sure what you would use as bait, though. You might also check out the yellow pages for a pest control organization. Sometimes you can find someone who specializes in removing wildlife from places they're not wanted.

Well, It's just a fuzzy tailed rat. Try a big rat trap. Good as a 22, and won't leave a hole in the 5er when you miss.

Great replies still wiping the tears from my eyes. They have tried assorted traps with no luck.

set up a trap and leave for the day, when you get back just let the little thing out of the cage, out side of course

A person is not supposed to miss. Ammo has gotten expensive lately.

Anyway, a bullet hole in a RV would give it character and be an item of conversation.
