Last Sunday we had 11 squirrels in the yard scampering all over the place. I decided to remove a few and set up the "Have A Heart" trap. Within less than 4 hours I made 5 separate trips to the local forest preserve to deposit my catch. Its about 1.5 miles from the house.
I suspect that I am responsible for most of the squirrels in this forest preserve. Some say they find their way back but I don't think so. Too many pockets of desirable habitat and hazards.

Ahhhhh, cute pesky little creatures!!!
Not cute. A few years ago in our place in NH, some squirrels found a way into our attic. That cost about 1500 hundred to get a pest exterminator to get rid of these pests then check and seal up any way they found to get in.
Now I take care of the problem with a pellet rifle. I leave them where they drop in the morning they are gone.

I stopped transporting the squirrels raiding my bird feeder a couple years ago at about 175 trips. I would live trap them and make the 10 mile round trip to an oak forest on state land that was next to a corn field: squirrel utopia. The miles and time were adding up and I wasn't really making any headway; they just keep coming. Down to just scaring them off now, when we see them. They lost their cuteness long ago unless we see them in the park.

I get a lot of squirrels too Joe. I think the babies make for the increase in population this time of year. I never thought of moving them. The Raccoons, on the other hand, are a different story. Your little friend looks like he is laughing.

Not that I haven't cheated, but doing that is against the law in Massachusetts.

When we lived in Arkansas, these creatures could fly through the air to land on the bird feeders and perch from them to eat the seeds.....Oh those cute creatures?????? Ha.
