[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 688663, member: 9198"] Don't know how common it is in Indiana but around my part of Texas you can't store anything in plastic containers without the squirrels eating through. They ruined a brand new deer feeder of mine in less than a month. Thought I had it pretty much squirrel proof, hanging on a steel cable from a tree limb about ten feet from anything they could jump from. They got it anyway. As far as getting rid of them try a .22. They're pretty good eatin', too. You can use your imagination on other ways to eliminate them but just don't tell anyone, else you'll have the tree huggers all over you. Patching that plastic container might be a challenge. It's probably polyethelene and polyester (fiberglass) resin won't stick to it very well. Bondo is basically the same stuff so I don't think that's going to work very well either. If you could find some of the same kind of material the container is made from you could probably "weld" a piece of the scrap material over the hole. Do it from the inside so the pressure of what ever you're storing helps hold the patch in place. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
