That Gnawing Noise

[swestrup]

There is a persistent and annoying noise coming from near the air conditioner in my office. My initial investigations seem to implicate a squirrel that is trying to gnaw through the plastic around the AC unit in order to escape into the warmth of my office. I can sympathize a bit, as its bloody cold outside (and shouldn't the squirrel be in hibernation right now, anyway?) but I would rather NOT have a hole gnawed in the plastic. I've made several attempts to discourage him, but so far it only stops him for a few minutes at a time.

My neighbor told me some horror stories about what tabasco did to some of the squirrels she tried it on, so I'm not so keen on it.

Besides, I'd have to find a way to paint it around the A/C unit, which sticks out a second-story window.
