Not This Year

Well, Mike Wazowski didn’t make it. I know it’s a graphic photo, but I feel it’s important to spread knowledge of how much damage these squirrels are doing in our community. Mr. Evil Pumpkin and Mr. Ghost have also had to be removed, but the carnage was just too horrific to post any pictures. Listen, people, you only have one chance to save the pumpkins. Reapply bitter spray. Keep current on red pepper flake sprinkling. Booby trap with moving parts if you have to. One moment of distraction is all they need. Good luck, fellow brethren, and Happy Halloween!
