We have same problem with squirrels here. I try to leave them for the hawks however there's a pine tree over our yard and it likes to eat and drop large pine cones on us. New squirrel every year.

Apologies if I'm arguememtive today errrr! I'm very conflicted over squirrel err. Hubby says it's got to go with little pups& young chickens we can't risk everything we invested in last 4years to get to this point but drats where's a heart trap when I need one ugh. Really hate these decisions man. Sorry I'm a mess people my friend Matt's like wait 10mins and count to 29. Guess that's all I got for now. Thanks for encouraging me by reminding me I'm not the only person irritated with a squirrel today.

What is it with men and questioning what works?

I just bought a 12 pack of the glue traps. No heat

Be careful with the glue traps.....it doesn't kill them. I have found chewed off legs in them or dehydrated bodies that starved to death.....be prepared to kill them. I use the black plastic snap traps with teath. I don't feel like I'm going to lose a finger when I set them. Good luck!!! I'm sorry you don't feel well. Ginger ale(flat, no bubbles) helps.

Well, I got all seven processed in about 2-2.5 hours or so (skinning). Cried with each one - but was grateful that I've done this enough now to make each a very clean death. The worst part was finding this inside one of them - she would have laid her first egg today. The other CL (eight pullet) did survive the night and went back to the coop to look for the rest, so I caught her and closed the book on this whole thing. I got my weekly weights on the others, now I'm back inside having more coffee, and crying again. I've culled before, a number of times. And I am at peace with the reasons I had for culling these pullets. I just wish I didn't feel like such a monster. - Ant Farm

I'm so sorry, I agree, you made the right decision....

Beside the squirrel has advantage I'm half blind and the sight on the pellet gun is not sighted. It pulls to the left I think or is it the right. Oh well he wins most days.
