Remember to use extreme caution if you plan on using live traps. Squirrels or any other trapped animal will bite out of fear. There are professionals that trap problem animals and move them to other locations. Do not use poisons to keep squirrels out of your yard. Besides causing a slow and painful death for squirrels, children, domestic animals, birds, and other innocent creatures may ingest them.
Poisons can also damage the environment.
If all else fails, provide a squirrel feeder that is located away from your bird feeders. Providing some of their favorites like dried corn, and peanuts in their natural form, may help keep squirrels from dining in your bird feeders. Inc.
