Answer 2

Call the local animal shelter. Many will lend you a trap for a small deposit. Or you may try a equipment rental place. However, if you move them to the country, they may die anyway. We moved to the country a few years ago, and I am surprised at how few squirrels there are. I'm quite sure that it is because they have abundant natural enemies here. I have heard of hawks carrying off kittens. Then there are the dogs people dump in the country, and ferrel cats. My cat used to love to eat squirrels. When we lived near the city, he would bring them to his Mom and siblings. He would catch 3 or 4 per day sometimes. He seemed to prefer them to cat food. Now I never see him with a squirrel. Do you have a specific problem with the squirrels? I am an avid gardener, and have had trouble with squirrels digging in my flower beds. One summer I sprinkled them with cayenne pepper after every rain, and they quickly learned to stay away. I stayed at that property for 6 years, and they never touched my beds again. It burns a little like hot sauce on the corners of your mouth, but does no other harm. Squirrel Away products are made of cayenne.

Answer 3

use what's called a "squirrel pole"......
nothing more than a log, leaned against the tree (one known to harbor squirrels), with numerous noose's on it. The more noose's on the pole, the better your chance of catching a squirrel

Answer 4

What Richard said....That squirrel pole is in every survival manual I've ever read.Never tried it,but I can't see it not working.
