Gotta be leach field? Ya mean the plastic stuff with holes in the
bottom- or the old clay tiles? I've got a couple pieces of the clay.
Drop by [I'm in NYg] and I'll trade you for a welding lesson.

Try a culvert place to see if they've got some scraps? Last time I
dropped by mine they were happy to part with a bunch of 8" plastic
that was busted up.

Where's the trap plans? I'm always looking for new ways to automate
my squirrel/chipmunk population control.

Buy regular 6" and drill a few holes. I don't recall ever seeing it.

Oh and do share those plans if it works.

Your city uses plastic pipe of all sizes for water and sewer (I'll bet). If
you go by the public works station house, They probably have oodles of
scraps from which you can select a piece.

You may have to drill your own holes...

We get rock squirrels here. Huge *******s. Stripped two of my almond
trees. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.

Going to take a big plastic barrel with no top. Cut a piece of pipe about
2x the diameter of the barrel. Make it so that it balances half on the
barrel, half sticking out at a right angle. Put a stop on the end over the
barrel so that it cannot flip up, only down. Cut said pipe down a little
into the barrel so that as it tips down, the inside of the edge of the
barrel will keep Mr. Squirrel from running out that end. Balance it exactly
so that it always returns to horizontal, hitting the stop above it. Put a
limb diagonal up to the entry of the pipe. Slather the inside with peanut
butter. Mr. Squirrel goes in, the end of the pipe rests against the upper
stop above the end, making it feel solid. And once past center, his weight
causes the pipe to tip vertical, dumping him into water that is squirrel
deep plus six inches. Inside of pipe must be slick, as inside of
white/black sewer pipe is, so he can't get any traction to run out. I think
when it tips, it will dump him so fast that he won't have time to run out,
and they weigh like three pounds, so he should drop pretty fast. He'll also
be headed downhill, so will take him a bit to turn around. Considered the
4" so that he couldn't turn around, but would have to test to see if they
will enter that small a pipe.

I was going to mount the thing like those little buckets on water features
that fill with water, then tip over to drain all the water, so that when
deceased smelly squirrel needs disposal, I shall just fill up with water,
and it will dump over canyon wall, where it will be located. Will also have
one under apple tree, current main squirrel target.

I have neighbors waiting for me to make and test these. BIG problem with
these around here. I can become rich if this works. Will post pictures on
flickr of construction, testing, and results.

Don't want any holes, as those little buggers have claws to grab on to the
insides of the pipe. Want him to just slide down into the water, nothing to
grab for traction. I thought about this for two hours the other day while
driving to Vegas, and have a couple of brain fart/storms during the drive.

Our gray squirrels go 2-3 pounds. I'm going to try this with 4" as
soon as it cools off enough to drag a barrel out of the bushes and
knock the top off.

That will be the tough part for me. I think a foot of water ought to

They've been eyeing my peach tree for a week--- 2 weeks to go til
peaches. I got *1* last year because it was the last one on the tree
and I picked it before it was ripe. Got *0* cherries this year
because of the squirrels.

I do what I can with a pellet gun- but I need a sentry on duty 24-7.
I've tried live traps- but after 2-3 in that many days, the remainders
get smart. This trap has the potential of getting a 1/2 dozen a day
& really thinning the herd.

When you said leach field I thought you meant the one with holes. Our Lowes
has the 6" in regular and lightweight. The lightweight is near the yard
grates and stuff, not with the other pipe.

Here is all I could find quickly on the web.

Wrap the tree with some flashing. The world has an inexhaustible
supply of squirrels. They are all hungry.

Leach field pipe, as I understand. Has holes so the water can soak
into the ground. 6 inch PVC drain pipe (no holes) sounds like your
answer. That, or a lot of teenagers with air rifles. And a bounty on
squirrel heads.

You seem to be having the same problems I have with them, and that is you
can't sit there 24/7, and they will just wait you out. They will strip
trees here in a day, and it's always the day when you go to town or church
or something. They have sentries posted. I have used the 5 gallon buckets,
and even caught the large squirrels in them, but they are big enough to jump
out, or just hang onto something and not fall in the water. The 5 gallon
ones work great for mice and pack rats.

My neighbor sat in the canyon one day with his .22 and a scope and killed 22
of them. But they have litters twice a year, and will repopulate quickly.
I think I'm going to put some fallen apples in the water with a little yeast
to get a nice fragrance going. I still like the autodump feature, and may
work on that, as I am a welder.

It's a bear to walk out, and your whole tree's fruit is gone.

http://www.desertusa.com/animals/rock_squirrel.html

Not to worry. If I didn't continue to associate with the peons, who would I
sell the plans to? ;-)

I am getting my cabg book ready to publish this week online, too. I'm
excited about that.
