....had a squirrel problem for weeks...I had a small bird feeder that sat outside my window, every day squirrels would climb up the side of the building and raise havoc...I started off doing the normal human thing..I’d clap loudly,yell, even caught a few with water with a spray bottle....and most of the times they would grin,chuckle a bit, run halfway down the side of the building and wait till I sat down again.
I decided to play rough...I got hold of a 12 oz. Styrofoam cup..(in case I dropped it)...fill it with alcohol and water (50/50)..and waited.
The corner of the building is brick, I’m up about 30 feet, swinging the screen open is very easy,quick....
well, remember I said they used to wait?. When they climb down their a%% is a great target, fully exposed.....
I had to do this about three times......but they’ve haven’t been back up since.....seems alcohol in their furry butt gets the message across.

You give the squirrels enemas?
