Shoot the squirrels. We would have so many if I didn't eliminate some. We have both Fox Squirrels and Gray Squirrels. The Fox Squirrels are no problem but the Gray Squirrels are. I eliminate them and still see more in our area, but when they come on our property and I get the opportunity it's bye bye. A friend had Fox Squirrels but the Gray's have moved in and he doesn't have anymore Fox Squirrels. The Gray's have driven them out.
