Our town has a horrible population of some of the worst behaved red squirrels I've ever seen. I had my ds just start shooting any red squirrels in our yard. They chew up stuff, steal chicken feed, throw stuff at people, torment the dogs, fry themselves on the transformer knocking out power when they aren't just straight chewing the power or phone cables. The poor workmen hate them though they are job security for them. One neighbor started shooting them with paintball guns but that only made them colorful. Since ds started shooting them our neighborhood has become one of the more peaceful in town. I say use whatever works.

Red squirrels are the worst. When I was a kid, we had one that kept chewing through window screens to get in our house. It usually went out a different window than it came in. It would knock stuff over all through the house and when you came home after it had been in the house it looked like though we had been robbed or something. It ruined nine screens before Dad beat it to death with a tennis racket after he cornered it in a bathroom where the window wasn't open. After that we shot every red squirrel that we saw come in our yard.
