Wayne ,
I have a wire Hair Jack Russell, he is fast as Lightening but no contest,
for a Squirrel .
I was walking him on a short leash one day , a Squirrel decided to leap off
the Telephone Pole ,he was using and he caught him, in midair.
The solution that I have found, that works best is one, of those Wire Traps,
below my Birdfeeder.
I have caught three, a day ,several days.
The only problem ,is that you must relocate them at least five Miles ,from
your location.

Nothing take's care of a Squirrel problem better than a Jack Russell

Well just wait until they cut the wires and the vacuum lines in your GMC and
start to build nests.
They also cut the wires on our sprinkler system.
Squirrels, Rats and Mice are Rodents.
Plus our ground squirrels have flees that transmit God only know what?

had a squirrel eat through the wall vent and made a nest in the attic. what a mess. all the insulation tore up, began chewing the 2x4 studs. Finally got him out and put wire mesh over the now destroyed vent cover...
Yup, They gotta go !

Michael,
IF I had any qualms about dispensing with the pests, they would be
considerably allayed by the fact that some other animal, probably the local
fox, is getting a good meal each night. I always leave the squirrels where
they fall and they're gone the next morning. The fox doesn't dig holes,
attack bird houses, eat plant bulbs, denude pear trees, nor in any other way
disturb our tranquility. My conscience is clear.

Huh! Down here, we're raised on quail & doves full of bird shot so them
mutations don't bother us much! Shoot, we still use lead split shot on our
fishin' lines. No tellin' when them catfish are gonna start growin' horns.

I have, indeed, eaten my share of squirrel, rabbit, 'coon, 'possum, etc. My
Alabama country grandparents were good teachers: Eggs scrambled with hog
brains were a favorite.
Never could develop Grandpa's habit though: There was always some of
yesterday's cake still on the table (covered over night with a cloth). On
really good mornings, there were some squirrel heads left too. He'd crack
the skulls with his teeth to get to the brains to eat with the cake. Yummy?
Even I never tried that one 'cause I didn't like the cold grease and there
was no microwave to warm them -- getting the wood stove fired up was too
slow. Granny NEVER used the electric stove -- it was a storage cabinet. I
doubt it was ever plugged in.
And there DARNED SURE weren't gonna be no outhouse in HER house!

I used to catch and release. My neighbor asked me not to throw any
more rattlesnakes over the fence.
A rodent in the wild is part of the food chain. A rodent in the yard
is after food, and, of course, around here they are usually followed
by snakes, looking for the rodents. Once my wonderful neighbor quit
putting out 25 lbs of bird food every week, the mice, rats and snakes
quit coming around.
Anything that comes in my yard has to deal with my female Daschund.
4 rabbits, one snake, countless mice and rats, and 6 birds.

Hey, If I can catch and release Opossums that entered my shop and mauled my cat, I can catch and release squirrels. Lived at Hollister, Pacific Grove, Fort Ord and Oxnard California and had no problems with the ground squirrels. My RV was stored for six months in the country near Santa Barbara and still no problems with the ground squirrels. We all have different stories! Here the squirrels come into the townhouse yard for acorns from the oak tree and to the vacant lot next door for the pecans.
