Last week a squirrel (a rock squirrel to be exact) chewed up a wiring harness in one of our vehicles. Not an uncommon occurrence in Prescott, in fact we have had several instances of this damage over the years. The ultrasound repellers we put in the vehicles did not keep the rodents away.

Plan B, we decided to trap the culprit and relocate it. We borrowed a cage trap from a neighbor and caught one. We took it out to Thumb Butte and released it.
