We are at our cabin....no work and son has no school....tomorrow is war time...100 rounds of 12 ga, 100 rounds of 20 ga....a lot less clean up with a shotgun

D-Con in a bird feeder will also kill a lot of birds

You can always save the squirrel tails and sell them to Mepps Spinners:

If it makes you feel better, i picked off three of them from my back fence before breakfast.

Oh, try some pepper spray on your tree. Should keep them off.

Lately they have been stripping my cherry tree. Will pepper spray damage the fruit?

Any sort of projectile is not really going to be an option in my neighborhood, although I wish it was. A friend last night said he puts decon in a bird feeder near his peach trees. Does anyone see any issues with this?

Please don't use poison. It'll also kill birds any any predators/scavengers that eat the squirrels.

The wife talked me out of poison. I sprinkled cayenne pepper on the trailer bunks and they didn't touch them for the couple days the boat was still off the trailer. I did catch one of the bastards chewing on my neighbor's pontoon trailer carpet. He wasn't too concerned since his trailer needs a total rebuild anyway.

Unfortunately, I left my Fiskars pruning shears out for several days and the squirrels chewed the rubber grips. At least the Coopers hawk has taken out a few of them.
