I've trapped and relocated two squirrels this past week due to their damage to my bird feeder. Darn if there weren't two more on my deck this morning.........

Amnesty, relocation and new identities were granted to the prior two but I ain't gonna be so forgiving with these newcomers...........

I don’t know if you knew this, but relocation has to be at least 5 miles away. Squirrels find their way back!

Slip a slinky over the pole your birdfeeder is on, with one end fixed to the top so it hangs loose. For some reason squirrels don’t like trying to climb over those things. Or, put Tanglefoot [a sticky substance sold by garden centers which is used to catch coddling moths] on the pole. Cooking spray or oil works too but make sure it stays greasy when frozen and use a smooth pole like skinny PVC.

Uhhhh, sorry to inform you but the same two came back. You must have some good bird feed. Lol.

Be careful relocating animals. That’s illegal here due to the risk of spreading rabies.
