Yep this is me. I have a trash can beside my bin for horse feed. I mix a 50 lb bag of sunflower seeds and pour in the cheap birdseed with all the other shit.

I throw them and the birds a scoop on the ground and then a scoop and a half in feeders I have in trees.

Don't **** with my squirrels.

I have over 200 on my property. I live on a 5 acre wooded lot. There does not seem to be many predators, as the population as exploded the last couple of years. I have both red and grey squirrels. They are destructive and can level a garden in about 10 minutes.

Groundhogs are another animal that can destroy just about all vegetation. I am not a dog person, but I keep thinking I should get a yard dog just to kill all these pests.

NO! You need to find yourself as a MAN and SOON. DEFEND YOUR PROPERTY.

Get tired of tree rats running around my property but my daughter gets upset if I say I'm going to eradicate them.

That’s the only thing I can figure severed my windshield washer line.

And I didn’t say I wasn’t going to shoot and eat the little ****ers. The fact is, they are here in abundance, and I might as well be entertained.

They run along the top of the back fence like a highway. I put 4" ducting soaked in oil across the top but they shimmy across it. I put bird spikes along the top of the fence but they crawl sideways along the edge of the top 2x4 board to get around them like a free climber. I clipped a sheet of plastic to the tree facing the fence. this seems to work so far. I think it freaks them out.

A .22 scoped break barrel pellet gun is the last option, but I can only do it when my family isn't home.
Try hanging aluminum pie plates in the tree. That works for birds a cherries.

I’ve got two acres wooded. Unfortunately, all I have are the little grey bastards so it takes about 8 to make a decent stew.

Get on Zoom with OP and tell all the children the squirrels must be murdered for the better of both your families.

It takes a village to raise a child.

Get yourself a few boxes of these and let the good times roll. These rounds are literally quieter than a pellet gun. I use them for all my urban squirrel hunting needs.

That was extremely fun to watch. Too bad it didn't launch the little bastards hard enough to any actual damage. He should have aimed it at a brick wall about 20 feet away.

I've burned a mouse alive to get rid of it. I'm manlier than you.

Man up and go to war.

Here you go, this guy has some ideas for you.
He's got at least four of these videos so you should have several choices for messing with the squirrels.
