All non lethal tactics did not work for us, and we tried them all. Cut the trees back and they climb the house. Close a hole they chew another somewhere else. Unfortunate circumstance for the squirrel(s) but they are terribly destructive

That's why I deployed lethal tactics. You can trap them yourself with a have-a-heart trap, but it is illegal to relocate them, you must dispose of them.

and it's illegal to relocate them for good reasons: they will simply become a problem for whoever lives nearest where you release them. Squirrels are also disease vectors, so moving them around can spread diseases between squirrel populations.
