I do a little adc work from time to time and I have this squirrel job where the squirrels are getting in a air plane hanger.They are climbing 8x8 wood post so to stop them from getting up there I rapped the post with flashing (20") 7-8 feet off the ground.My question is can or have you send a squirrel jump straight up and over a 20"piece of flashing or should I have went more with the flashing.

Yes, they can clear a 20" flashing. I had the same problem with a bird feeder on a post in the back. Wrapped the post with flashing a full 6' and watched them jump up 4-5 ft, clamp down with all 4, and screeeeeeeeeeeched as they slid down again. LOL

Anytime, that's why we're here.
In retrospect: my squirrels were going from a standing start on the ground, likely different trying to leap from a pole start.

They will Jump & Die when you Shoot Them with A 22 caliber CB CAP Long. I like them because they Do the Job & are QUIET.
