KEEP IT QUIET.

Squirrels are in fact cute in SOMEONE ELSE'S yard. If, they get into YOUR HOUSE and start nesting, they are dirty rats with a fuzzy tail.

When, we lived in a cold climate, squirrels would chew through the wire in the roof vents and nest in the attic space. They would defecate, tear up insulation, chew wires etc.

Re: havahart trap
Ok so now you've caught ONE-what are you going to do with it? Are your prepared to open the door with a rat running around inside the trap? Based on experience, they look far larger in the trap then climbing on your neighbors property.

Re: Daisy BB gun
A bad choice. I AM NOT ANTIGUN but first of all a Daisy is a low powered BB gun. I doubt it is legal to shoot in your backyard and a hit on a squirrel unless you are very close to it-will not kill it.

You might try MOTH BALLS. You might try one of those inexpensive strobe units, used in store displays and safety equipment. You might try planting HOT PEPPERS-they plants are interesting and squirrels do not like texmex
