I left my red rider BB gun back in Cleveland....
We have same problem, the squirrel climbs up the side of the birdcage, across the top of the birdcage, then runs along the roof of house. Then climbs down the screen at our front door. Then next day may do it in reverse. It sets off our cameras either way. Might be a good funniest home video.

A couple of areas that looks like the screen has a run similar to in your stockings. Have had the screen guy out twice to do repairs. We have no birdfeeders and no trees that’s not it.

He did suggest an owl or some thing fluttering to put on top of the birdcage to deterrent. He did say sometimes nothing works
