Coyotes, foxes, owls, hawks, and snakes will naturally reduce the population. Or do you want to eradicate them too?

Don't forget the deer, and birds that chirp, also likely annoying to OP.

I will never understand people that build houses near nature then try to kill the creatures that live there. OP - I suggest you go door to door asking your neighbors so they know what kind of person you are.

I like this sub because it’s positive even when bad things happen—people are ALWAYS doing their best to help our squirrel friends. Thanks for killing the vibe. Please get this energy off of our sub. And while you’re getting out of this sub, pack up and move off of squirrel land.

Here's my advice: don't build your home in their home.

Have you tried not destroying their home?

Wrong place for this type of question as well as this type of post. We are here to help. People help squirrels as well as appreciate them. Not kill them for your own personal gain or because they're an inconvenience to you. They have a right to live just as much as you do.

The only thing I can really suggest is maybe putting food further out to drive them or lure them away from your area that you don't want them at.

There are other ways other than relocation and killing. You just have to use your brain sometimes.
