Default Squirrel problem

Thanks for all your suggestions and replies. My yard is standard
subdivision size. The neighborhood is heavy with trees of all kinds.
It was once a walnut orchard, which isn't helping the situation. My
back neighbor has tons of fruit trees.

Shooting the little varmints in close proximity to other homes isn't an
option. Trapping and relocating is worth trying.

I think I'll try that avenue next!


Havahart trap, crackers with peanut butter. But, the floor of those traps is
screen, and squirrels really get the claws working when they're ****ed off
or scared. So, don't put the trap on the car carpet. They claws will damage
it. Get a piece of carpet to protect the vehicle.
