Those critters tear up the yard and dig up the garden. I'm also tired of hearing them scurry over the roof. Does anything work to keep them away for good?

They can also get into your house. Squirrels are easily trapped and simply released in another area.Of course that requires a lot of work and time. The newer, high powered pellet rifles do a great job of reducing their population.
And last but not least a big tom cat or terrier breed dog.

I don't mind them in the yard etc., but I have had them in the attic and chewing through the ceilings etc. I located the holes they made in house and put metal plates over them and a radio in the attic on a rock station and this seems to have discourged them.
Maybe if you put red pepper, moth balls around the yard it would keep them away.

Set a trap then after you catch them release them somewhere else you both win the squirrels didn't destroy your tree they live and they get a new home completely safe

Get a cat. A nice big male Maine Co on , excellent hunters. No more squirrels guaranteed.

You could contact a local animal control company. NWCOA.com has a list of companies.

Trap them and set them free in another area. My neighbor does it all year round. We have very few now..................
