I hate squirrels! Had them build nests in the soffits twice now. They can tear stuff up! Got rid of them using large snap type rat traps. If they're invading my territory they're gonna die! Tree rats!! Learned to keep trees,branches away from the house so they have no way to get up there. Been pretty good for a few years now. Before setting the trap drill a hole in one corner and attach a piece of wire or chain. They can hightail away with trap in tow if they don't get a good whack.

Update #2 : In today's episode of As The Squirrel Turns... Yesterday bought a Havaheart trap, got some peanut butter, and in less than an hour I had a caged grey squirrel. Took little Rocket J for a few miles of road trip and let him off in a forested area. Reset the trap for the next contestant but haven't heard a peep up there yet.
