I'm not sure about how they manufacture it, probably through
synthetic means with the right balance of herbs and odours :-)! However,
wolf urine probably will not work with the squirrels, since they have
probably never seen a wolf in their life, don't know what the urine smells
like, and wouldn't know until it was too late! Something like dog or cat
urine might be better (the wolf may be close enough to a dog).

Well, if you want to do this, let us know the results at least!

Can you not live trap them out, or are you being overrun by a large
number of them?
