And what do you think any form of government is about?
Some are just worse than others.
It's your decision what kind of rules you live under.
And that's why I don't live in an area with a HOA.
No problem. I've got some 28ga galvanized left over from when I installed my new furnace and A/C, and all the tools necessary to make them. I like the design! Would look much better than what I had in mind with the hardware cloth. Thanks for the idea/link!Pics when completed [raining for the nest few days].
any Pics available ? .... just curious, any update on the body count ??

Body count's at three, but it seems squirrels from outside the general area move into the newly vacated territory.
Anyway...The 28ga duct material has evolved into something a bit more squirrel-proof. Going with automotive exhaust pipe couplings (cheap) with holes drilled in the wall (Vari-bits work great for this), and 16ga steel caps welded to the top. Got a quick CAD rendering of the smaller (2") of the vent stack cover, which I'll just weld a 2" dia. washer to the top rather than cutting one out of sheet metal (lazy). Contemplating throwing a layer of 1/8" hardware cloth around the inside to keep out the Mud Dobber wasps as well. The gray part represents the PVC vent stack.
nice .... well not the part where rodent reinforcements are moving into the area

I was wondering what you planned for the holes; when I first saw it I pictured a squirrel putting nuts through the holes and watching them fall like a pachinko machine. That or a flash suppressor for a rifle
I was going to ask if you had planned on shooting at aliens over the house of something.

Well, the squirrel's 'ammo' [black walnut] is around 1 1/2" in dia., same size as the I.D. of my kitchen sink vent stack, and the holes in the squirrel vent guard/UFO flask suppressor is 3/4". Should work...unless the aliens are smaller than I calculated!
