Couple problems here:
1. Squirrels are eating the fruit from our fruit trees. It seems to help when we put flashing around the trunk where they can't climb up, but some trees are near a fence where they can jump.
2. Black walnut tree in my front yard - I'd love to wrap flashing around that trunk, but the branches overlap other trees, and I'd have to wrap every tree and telephone pole in town because of the overlap. They make such a huge mess with those walnuts.
3. Not allowed to fire a weapon that exceeds 750 fps. No pellet/bb/air gun under 750 fps does any damage to a squirrel. Lots of houses nearby, and it's risky if you miss or ricochet.
4. Haven't tried poison yet, but don't know what to do without hurting my daughter's cats.
I managed to trap/eliminate all the raccoons that were troubling us - 6 altogether. But these darn squirrels are really getting numerous now that the neighborhood cat lady passed away.
