My family thinks its sick or has rabbies. It isn't afraid of people and repeatidly tries to get in the house. I think I may have to shoot it but before I do. Do you have any suggestions?

Squirrels often act unafraid, though they may run if you approach them rather than vise versa. Probably just looking for food.

I've recently developed a fear of squirrels for this very reason. Although I haven't had one try breaking and entering but I've been attacked by one. I live in Hollywood, Ca. and thought maybe city squirrels are little more aggressive than ones living in the hills.
If I were you I'd call animal control. Squirrels are scary.

I think that he sees something on the inside that attracts him.. or perhaps there is a reflection of something on the outside of window that hes trying to get.

Do you have food lying around? The poor thing is probably hungry and smart enough to know that he can come to your house for din din.

Sassy Says...
You are setting yourself up for this one...
Ok hes just a squirrel trying to get a nut
Or he is stalking you
Or he is rabid and trying to kill you
or he has multiple personalities and thinks he is human....
Is it your brother?

It means the squirrel would like to try your nuts.

don't shoot it! If it does have rabies, you should NOT be the one to dispose of it. Call your local animal control. Seriously. Also, what if it doesn't? You will be killing a creature who didn't need to be killed. :(

dont shoot it
just try hitting it with a stick harmlessly
the animal will see you are bigger than it and (if it doesnt have rabies) it will back off after a while.
or get a rat trap.................. it works
