You could get a squirrel guard/baffle. Would something like this work? http://www.amazon.com/Heath-Outdoor...qid=1395947582&sr=8-2&keywords=squirrel+guard

Squirrels do that to me too. I love squirrels, but it can get a bit annoying..

Is it illegal to shoot varmints on your own property in Ohio? Are you serious?

 

[teneyck farms]

it is illegal to shoot any wild animal unless they harm 2 species of wild life. the coyotes we shot because they killed a rabbit and chickens

I'm in Ohio. I trap all year long. The animals are killed well most of them. Do you have a BB gun?
