My girlfriend tried some allegedly humane pepper spray derivative
spray. It was only effective when sprayed directly on the squirrel,
which was amusing, but they just came back when you aren't home.
What you need is a really BIG, HUNGRY, pussy cat.

>>know if nicotine-tipped blowgun darts qualify as euthanasia, but hey....`
Unfortunately here in CA blowguns are illegal to possess, as
are firearms silencers... (I can see it now, a shadowy figure
in a trench coat, wearing sunglasses, slips up behind the
squirrel and puts several silenced rounds into the rodent at
close range, then slips away....)

Last year I had 2 large, highly clawed, raccoons visit my
backyard where they tipped over my water jugs so they could
eat. Supposedly they don't have saliva glands and prefer
water with their food. Now there is a species which you
definately do NOT want to get peeved at you...
