there is insulation on the wire...........

Your wire is too thin...go for a heavier gauge wire and that will cure the problem.\n\nGood Luck

Yes very good insulation as most domestic wiring is insulated with PVC there are some specialist plastics which can be made to conduct electricity but not normaly.\njust to add for all the people saying that it is not an insulator my work involves working on live overhead line equipment up to 11000 volts and the only thing that keeps me alive is the plastic insulation on the truck and tools

just use cable or wifi...if you can get clear-wire in your area!!!

Carefully chose what you want to use to keep the lights up.  Using cup hooks works well.  Screws also stay in for a long time.  Once you place all your hooks/nails/screws about every 3 feet, they should last for years.  This will make light hanging go quicker for the next several years.\n\nAlso, try not to let the lights drop onto the driveway or sidewalk.  Be sure the lights are all working BEFORE you put them up.  Nothing is worse than getting them all up, plugging them in, and finding out they don't work!\n\nBut, worse then finding out they don't work, is putting them up and then discovering that you put the wrong end by the outlet!

you need tight trucks to retain control at high speeds

First gut the squirrel.  Just slit it's belly open from the chest cavity down to the anus.  Pull out everything that's inside.  Next, skin it.  This is the easiest way to skin a squirrel:\n\nLay it on its stomach.  Fold the tail up over the back and run your knife down the tail until it meets the body (should be just above the anus).  Cut through the tail bone BUT NOT THROUGH THE SKIN ON THE OTHER SIDE.  Turn the squirrel over and grap it's rear legs with one hand.  Step on the tail near where you cut it.  Pull up on the rear legs and the skin will come off up to behing the front legs.  Work the front legs through the hide.  Still standing on the tail, peel off the skin from the back legs.  Cut the front legs off at the "wrists" and the back legs off at the knees.  Remove the head.  Rinse under cold water to remove any blood or hair.  Check again to make sure the body cavity is empty.  Put in crock pot for a couple of hours and get ready for some really fine eating.  Congrats on your harvest.

try to keep them as far away from each other as possible

Find or build a jammer for frequencys above 820 and below 900mhz. Set the jammer to where the calls are made. Have a antenna wire run throughout the area. Good luck.

Radio Shack sells a package of 9-volt battery snaps with attached black and red wires.  Another method is to buy "alligator" clips and attach wires to these.

Sounds like there is a short somewhere.  Look for damaged or loose wiring.  Look at battery terminals -- anything touching them that should not be.  Are all the wires adequately insulated?

Is that the same as "bats in your belfry?"  Seriously, find out how they are getting in there, find out what they like to eat (squirrel chow perhaps), and sprinkle it near their entrance.  Once you're sure they're all out, seal the hole.  But for goodness sake, whatever you do, be humane!  They're just doing what we do...trying to survive.  So please, don't do anything to harm them.  If you seek a professional person to get the job done, insist on humane (non-lethal) methods.

Bumpstops can help some but you will have to raise the truck to fix the problem. I have seen some people cut notches into the frame. I would not recommend it, but if you do, reinforce the frame around the notch. Airbags to raise and lower the truck would be the best option. Good luck.

for a flow in electricity to occur, there has to be a change in voltage.  the bird is touching only one line a very short distance apart.  as there is no difference in voltage between the two points, there can be no traveling of current through the bird.  \n\nalso, the wire offers less resistance to travel than does the bird.  if the roles were reversed, the bird would carry the current.  \n\nand lastly, the wire is insulated.  it's not just bare metal.  this protects the birds and squirrels from the fatal charge.

There are few things that can actually stop a wireless signal, one of which is certain types of aluminum. Another thing, for example, is direct distance in feet. A room "right next to it" could actually be a greater physical distance than the room above it.
