Just curious as to why you don't want the squirrels?

The OP answered that in post 1!!!
Squirrels are rodents! Did you ever have one in your house? I had several before I got Capo. They can be very destructive and people have actually died from electrical fires caused by them chewing wires! To me they are a nuisance!! You and I have different views with different experiences on them which is fine!
I think you misinterpreted my question. lol I am not beyond dispatching them safely if they become a hazard to people or property. I was trying to offer a alternative because some folks don't want to kill them. Also, I am very much opinionated about injuring a nuisance animal to attempt to deter it. I just can't condone injuring a animal because it may be damaging my attic. I feel it should be relocated, if possible, or dispatched in a safe & humane way. I liken it to a hunter who kills just for the kill and leaves the meat behind, kills out of season or kills over limit.
I also have 2 cats now, they are indoor/outdoor and I feed the squirrels on the edge of my property. This have solved my rodent problems.
ratteltrap1970, I don't think the squirrel killed your neighbor, I think ignorance did. Its kinda like if you had worn out brakes on your car, but refused to do the proper maintenance. Then one day the brakes don't work and you wreck. Did the brakes cause the wreck or ignorance?? See what I mean?
So anyways, did you guys go look at some of the videos of folks trying to get rid of squirrels?? Some funny stuff there. The squirrel, as you know, can be one hard critter to get rid of.
The most difficult home nuisance that I have come across getting rid of is Honey Bees! They got into my wall and built a hive. I fought with them for about 2 months! Everyone I called wouldn't or couldn't help. I ended up having to fully abate the wall they got into. It was a mess! I tried everything. But I didn't try zapping them with a laser. If it ever happens again, I am gonna put the Tmack on them!
