In my previous suburban home a neighbor would sit in the back with a pellet gun and shoot them. He was a pretty good shot.
I had some squirrels get into my attic in my previous home so I put up cage traps, put peanut butter in the trap and caught 4 of them. Took them to the lake and drowned them since they would come back even if released a few miles from the house.
