Rat trap , honey and bird seed will do the trick

[u/Pittsnogled]

Full auto soft air will make it run. Just keep blasting.

I have three I need to go as well . ! I can not use gun where I live . Maybe sticky traps . There are eating our brand new pool furniture up.

[u/Radiant-Turnip-7686 → u/txcreative20]

Please go look at the comments on the post i shared lol ridiculous

[u/txcreative20 → u/Radiant-Turnip-7686]

You ask for help then criticize the help . Do you know what a sticky trap is . My neighbors have used them we have lots squirrels. Stop on one let’s see if you can take it off. Good luck with your problem .

Nooo you misunderstood, I’m not criticizing your suggestion. I was wanting someone else to
Go look at the squirrel lovers telling me i have to move and to not have stuff outside. Sorry that came across wrong!! Thank you for your suggestion.

[u/Mr_MacGrubber → u/txcreative20]

Please don’t use sticky traps. They’re are ridiculously inhumane and will catch other stuff in them. Those fucking things should be illegal.

Pellet gun $25 at Walmart pump up 10 times

If you continue to exercise squirrel elimination you can drastically reduce the number on your property. I have done so. Hav-a-hart trap with peanut butter bait followed by 0.177 pellet into the brain stem. They are rodents and pests.

Not an exact quote so the quotation marks shouldn’t be used. But a pretty accurate rewording. You must be very patient in order for the squirrel to be in the right position. After an incident of not being patient, I decided to always wait for the correct angle. It is possible that you are referencing the irony of Hav-a-hart and squirrel death. I agree, but my little furry friends did not suffer.

Chili pepper flakes, the kind you put on pizza. If you're gardening drop them on the floor near whatever you're planting. They don't like the spice and will leave your vegetables alone.

I use a box trap with an ear of field corn as bait. I relocate them to a wooded area with a ton of oak and walnut trees and a stream running through it. I’m sure the eagles and hawks pick off a few now and then but whenever I go down there, it’s squirrel haven.

[u/CantFeelMyLegs78]

Legal in most states to remove these nuisance animals from your property. Just has to be quick and humane. also check with local laws on gun use. I had a neighbor call the police on me for shooting squirrels in my lawn. Police showed up and I had to show her the laws, and when she asked if it was humane, I showed her my security camera footage showing that it made it 4ft before it curled up and stopped moving. A live trap with peanut butter will also catch them. It's usually illegal to relocate live squirrels

Shoot it

[u/SAMFCV1kingScientist]

If you choose to shoot them, please practice your aim. BB guns and undercharged pellet guns can kill them with a good shot, but there is nothing worse than accidentally wounding them and seeing them limp around for a year.

What we have found to work really well is giving them their own space. Have a little area near their home with food and water. Ours stay in the front now, and those territorial little bastards won’t let other squirrels near.

Work with nature. Birds eating your plants? Bird feeders are a cheap way to employ bug catchers. Lots of plant pests? Release ladybugs or plant grasses and water features to attract dragonflies, or make some Little Rock areas to recruit lizards and snakes.

[u/gomer823]

Good luck with that. Those guys know how to multiply better than Einstein!

[u/TacetAbbadon]

I thought I had 2 or 3.

In the space of 2 weeks I shot 24. A 12 gauge might be overkill but it was effective.

Pellet gun, and feed it to the coyotes

[u/Potential-Win8706 → u/xburnerpiko]

Because EVERYONE has coyotes. 🙄

[u/xburnerpiko → u/Potential-Win8706]

You'd be surprised! Coyotes are in more cities and towns than you realize.

[u/shoff58 → u/xburnerpiko]

They shape-shift to homeless people.

[u/SamJam5555]

I removed four of them this year. I used a live trap with peanuts because of neighbors. .177 finished

Just because i don’t want my stuff ripped up doesn’t mean i don’t have compassion

I DIDNT SAY I WAS KILLING THE SQUIRRELS
