I've tried to trap them and relocate but that doesn't seem to make a bit of difference. I've netted trees but the squirrels go through. I need them to go away. I live in a surburban area where they run along the fence lines. Some neighbors feed them peanuts and they nest high in the trees. What is a way to get rid of them so that they won't come back. We can't discharge guns here so can't do that. Thank you for your advice.

Well : I assume you are in a neighborhood that has cats and dogs so obviously those aren't keeping them away. Same consideration in mind throwing rocks is out and a stupid suggestion. Feeding them will only increase their population and they will want to stay. Who in their right mind releases snakes in a residential neighborhood? Need I say more about those answers...
If you net your trees, trap the squirrels, and relocate them and still have problems the only thing I can think of is killing them and I hate that idea but don't know of anything else. Try a feed store or rodent control center at a hardware store or garden store to find what might work best for your area. They might even have other deterrents that will work as deterrents like coyote urine or something- I don't know, it's a hard one.

the best way to take care of a squirrel problem-is to feed them-we have 9 different fruit trees and 3 nut trees-and we also have a feeder of corn for them-and gather black walnuts for them-unless we just have squirrels with manners,we have very small problems-also they are a ton of fun to watch-we have 3 cats and watching them is a riot-killing them would be rotten-what if we were killed for eating?

Throw a rock at their head! When they fall out of the tree, stomp on them!

Buy them bags of feed corn, maybe they'll eat that instead.

if you want to kill it you could use a BB gun i think you should use a paint ball gun it will hurt it but not kill it
