Fred53 would be wise to maintain his anonymity on this board since he is arguably in violation of Florida animal cruelty laws.

The definitions section of the law states " In this chapter, and in every law of the state relating to or in any way affecting animals, the word “animal” shall be held to include every living dumb creature; the words “torture,” “torment,” and “cruelty” shall be held to include every act, omission, or neglect whereby unnecessary or unjustifiable pain or suffering is caused..."

Wasp killing spray directed onto a squirrel (and likely into its eyes) would appear to be "cruelty."
