A .22 with 'scope mounted on it works pretty well on squirrels. The scope
helps a lot if you're old like me, and have gotten to be too farsighted to
get a decent sight-picture with iron sights.
Lots of folks don't appreciate how destructive those little "tree rats" can
be!

My squirrels were gnawing the top rail of my redwood deck and where they
urinated it bleached the wood. I chose a more final solution--an
efficient killer trap from Forest Supply, ordered on the internet. 1 jar
of cheap peanut butter will provide bait for probably 100 squirrels.
Those (#($((%) squirrels --eastern Grays, which are an invasive species
here in CA--are very aggressive and push out the native squirrels,
After 20 years of no problems, they chewed up my rotator loops on my
treetop array, which eventually caused me to replace everything, at
enormous cost. I have no empathy or sympathy for them.
The deer mostly break my Beverages.

My primary vermin are deer and the YL had issues with squirrels
digging up her plants on the deck. She helps out at a Nursery and
they sell fox & Coyote urine. A little vial of the stuff lasts a long
time and one tube of the Fox version & the squirrels vacated the
deck. Made her happy so I bought the Coyote & put a couple vials
around the HI-Z triangle & another around my remote coax switch
box/radial plate & antenna jumpers. So far no issues and I haven't
seen any of those !@#$ deer in the back yard since I started doing
this.
They sell Fox, Coyote, Wolf & Mountain Lion.
