I never had them die in my yard but for many years I had them make home in my attic, and eventually in spite of exterminators and trappers, one fell thru the ceiling in my sons bedroom and more than once they would teach their new babies how to walk across the beams in my garage or they would stand on the pipes in my basement watching me while I did laundry. YIKES! destructive little critters when they work their way into the house. ACK, VERY costly little problems.
A man in the next town over from me just got a heft jail sentence and huge fine cuz he harmed some squirrel he had no luck getting rid of. <sigh> For some reason our paper made it front page news for weeks.
