Well, how about a mixture of ideas. Feed them, try to keep them out of where you don't want. See what kind of traps you can try and make to catch them. Get all this on video. Post video on here, or link to it at least.

Go pick up the acorns, the ones not opened yet, and put them on a pole as high up as possible, a metal pole they can't climb. Try to do this when they are around so they see what you are doing. Then sit back and watch how long it takes for them to get them down. Get video, post video.

Video dangit!!!!!!

Then shoot them all!!!!!!!:P

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

There was a BBC show about the efforts taken by one couple to "squirrel proof" a bird feeder. They tried everything from mounting it on a greased pole, barricades, a spring loaded perch that would close the feeder if the load was too heavy for it. No luck. They finally tried hanging it on a line, below a cable suspended between a tree and their house. It was a long distance from either structure. The squirrels tried to shimmy along the cable and down to the feeder, but they couldn't get to it. They finally started to take one for the team. One squirrel would climb to the top of the tree and dive at the feeder. It would hit it hard enough to knock out some of the food. But it would be knocked silly in the process. The other squirrel would feast on the scattered food. This squirrel would then climb up and repeat the process. By this time the first squirrel is coming around. It would then get to chow on the dropped food. It was funny to see just how many times the squirrels knocked themselves silly hitting that feeder.
50 donations so far. Give it a try.

So there is an oak tree in my back yard and lately my back patio/yard has become overun with busted open accorns (it is very unseemly...)

I also think at least one of them might have taken up residence in my attic... :|

any thoughts on how I can run of these pests? (I really don't like squirrels) and unfortunately I'm not able to shoot them as I live on an Air Force Base... :P



Too bad you can't shoot them, I was going to suggest a really good measure of projectile weaponry to use.

But really, you live on an Air Force Base and you don't have the readily available means to get rid of a few squirrels? That sucks.

I would suggest placing some well-hidden snares on the lawn, trap a few and interrogate them.

sick karma on them!!!!!

I wish that would work... (it doesn't though)
Is the Gammo the air plastic beebees? It's great fun to shoot the little brats in the butts and watch them look around to see where it came from... it doesn't really hurt them and after a good afternoon of it they will get sick of it and disappear for a few days.

Not that I would know.
