D*amn squirrels. Any suggestions for how I can prevent this from happening yet again, as in something I could hang near the lights that would keep them away? We&#8217;ve thought about getting a BB gun and serving squirrel stew at our next potluck, but I&#8217;d be too tempted to use it on loud drunk people rolling down my street at 1AM who think it&#8217;s cool to yell and disturb our sleep. Or I may just leave the lights plugged in all day so the next time the varmint tries it he gets fried. But I&#8217;m open to more humane suggestions.
