First of all, it's "squirrel" with an "e". SQUIRREL.
Trap and release is probably a good idea, though a squirrel in cage can equal one crazy-ass beast. You might also just learn to live with them. A squngee (www.squngee.com) might help.

Squngee? I watched the video...haha it could be pretty amusing, although I don't know what the point of it is.
Tony, thanks for the info.
Leave the corpse where it falls... you want to send a message to his family and friends. :evil:Originally posted by: Slappy00
cap em with a pellet gun, of course you then have to pick up the corpse.
You can fire pellet guns on your own property in most places, just be aware that like firearms they shoot a projectile at a high rate of speed (some of teh high-end models approach firearm speeds), so be careful where you point the thing.

If you had asians living in the neighborhood you wouldn't have to worry about squirrels.

I used to trap them and release them several miles away. It didnt seem to help. More just kept coming.
Then I went to Walmart and bought a $30.00 pump pellet gun with a $8.00 scope. Works like a charm. Lots of fun shooting this little guys too.
I did this in town in a neighborhood so don't be a whimp and worry about someone coming to get you for shooting in town. Just do it.

A decent pellet gun (the multiple pump variety) with pellets (not BB's) is absolute murder on squirrels. There's nothing cruel about it it's every bit as effective as a .22. Takes the back of their heads right off.
Cheap, quiet, & effective.
What more can you ask for?

There's a video of that floating on the web too. Metal bowl + squirrel bait attached to giant slingshot. They launched the squirrel out of sight of the camera!

They are difficult to get rid of. Kill or transport these and others will just take their place. My suggestion: try to stop feeding them. Get rid of the bird feeders and the garden plants they like. Without food, after you transport them away, maybe no more will come back.
I guess that's most logical. I love the birds, but you win some, you lose some.
For a season (all of this past fall+winter) we didn't put anything in the bird feeders and the squirrils hung around, so I don't know how effective that's going to be.
