Squirrel stuck in piano. What to do?

[Cruiser]

So my neighbor just stopped by to tell me that she has a squirrel stuck in her baby grand piano. She blocked the openings to keep the critter contained but she wants it out of there ASAP. Thinking her husband and I will try to net the little bastard with my boys ~14" diameter minnow nets when he gets home from work. You guys have any other bright ideas to get him out of there sooner rather than later with minimal collateral damage to the piano and her beautiful home?

Try coaxing it out by telling it it could be a contender on the FWT.

Does the neighbor own a maul?

DO NOTHING




A life lesson, worth all 15 minutes.

Euphemism alert?

Okay

You're going to try to catch a squirrel with a 14" minnow net? That sounds entertaining.
If you catch it, how do you plan to keep it in the net?
I'd avoid the drama, head down to HD and get one of these.

First time in my life that I wished I had a gopro.

peanut butter and a trap

better yet, go grab a cat from the street and toss him in

douse piano with gasoline and ignite with a roman candle

Mini Cruiser suggested we get his new red ryder and slay the little bugger at close range by lifting the lid just high enough to take aim.

Okay

I think you're thinking of a rabbit getting stuck.

Have someone film this please.

Bring one of those 5gal home depot/paint/costco mayonnaise buckets otherwise there's no way you get it out of the house with a net

You'll put his eye out!

Speaking from experience here, a BB gun does not have the stopping power to take down a squirrel with one shot. And squirrels will freak the fuck out when shot with a BB gun.

Can you get your hands on a Jack Russell terrier?

One of them would probably fit in a baby grand.

Open the piano lid just enough to slip in a couple of rabid mongooses. (Mongeese?)

Aren't they, more traditionally, used for motherfuckin' snakes in a piano?

Reread the op--if husband isn't still home yet, bang her senseless on the piano (this is why women want baby grand pianos, nobody actually plays them). If you thrust hard enough, it ought to stun the squirrel, and then you can grab the varmit by the tail and fling it out the window as she tries to find her panties.

It's the only way.

Probably not a bad idea. Little mess possible but nothing a sponge and some diluted bleach can't handle.

BB gun, probably not. I purchased a Gummo high-powered air rifle a few years ago to eliminate a squirrel problem I was having. 1350 ft/second, rifled barrel, pointed pellet, single shot, stock scope... That thing has about 15 fuzzy tails to it's name. At distance too. Get yerself one of those.

I'm no expert on this. PM Rontele.

Dangle your nut sack in it. Careful not to slam the top on it. Or not!


Whatever you actually do, video it and post!!!!!!

While not as entertaining as a maul attack, the easiest thing to do would be to open the nearest door to the outside and move the furniture to create a path to that door. The squirrel will exit with a quickness once the piano is opened.
