Transport them a mile or two away, hahahahahaha, ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! Before you can get back in your car the same buggers will be back sleeping in the wall!!!!! Live trap and shoot or drown the rats! Whatever you do, elimination must be PERMANENT! I have been waging a 12 year war with the little buggers and so far have been losing. They are not cute and fuzzy, they are terrorists in fur coats! Homewreckers, thieves, destroyers of all that is not thick metal! Oh, and if they really want to get you one will sacrifice itself to cut your powerlines just so the others can sneak up on you while you are distracted!

Glad I could provide you with a good laugh, but you might be interested to know that trapping and transporting them worked beautifully...I trapped 6 during a warm week in February, took them about a mile and a half away, patched the hole, and not one squirrel problem since!

Congratulations on your solution. I trapped and transported 12 one year to a location over 10 miles away and still had squirrels by the ton here. On top of the 12 relocated I shot 3. Maybe a local thing, maybe there is a black hole that sucks in relocated squirrels and drops them in my yard.

On rereading your post I think I see what happened. You are in Kansas and relocated them to the woods. I live in Ohio and live in a wooded area near a park. All the squirrels from all the interconnected area must congregate in my yard. They are more numerous than the skeeters here! JK maybe, saw 3 fuzzy rats this am and not a single skeeter!

TRUST ME THEY WERE NOT RELOCATED up here in Canada if you harmed a bug you would end up on the news when everyone had to register their guns most people turned them in to the police we sure are one trusting nation
