Help! Squirrel Infestion

A tree snare will take care of them..... Here are a couple of pictures of one I made...as you can see it is pretty effective.

My avatar takes care of all squirrels... a couple get by every now and then BUT they live in fear...

Research has shown that squirrels bury acorns and such in random places and do not remember where they are buried. They dig randomly during times of low food in hopes of finding buried food. They just get lucky and find what they have buried. They have no memory that allows them to go back to the same spot. Therefore, they would not starve simply as a result of being moved. They would, however, be stealing the hordes of other squirrels. More than likely, in a park or some other area where food is plentiful, there will be enough to go around, and no one will starve.

Woooo Daisy! I think I love you! If I have an lumber left after building my duck pen, I am so going to make one of those!!!!

HOLY SMOKES! I'm laughing hard at that poor hanging critter. It would be worth leaving him there if the sight of his body would deter the others. Will it???

Oh yeah- My squirells LOVE cyanne pepper. I mixed a half of a cup in a small feeder and waited. The stupid squirells ate the scratch and food while staring at me. I threw a shovel at them and they didn't even move!

you dont need to mount the snare wire on a pole...it just makes it easier to get the critters down as you dont have to climb up the tree as far...

Is is possible to fence them out?

I hate the adorable little buggers, but don't want to kill them because more will keep moving in and I'll never be able to stop killing them.
