I tried hot pepper last year, and hot pepper spray. No luck. Besides,
fried squirrel is great...:) Actually, the local wildlife authorities
recommend that eastern gray squirrels be trapped and euthanized...I don't
know if nicotine-tipped blowgun darts qualify as euthanasia, but hey....
Now I just hope the possums don't get into the act...
