How can you control or kill ground squirrels?

Question

My house has a lot of ground squirrels running around. They kill all of the plants and ruin the landscape. I really need info on how to kill/get rid or/control them.

Answer 1

My advice would be to get a squirrel feeder just for them and place it as far as possible from your nice plants.  This way hopefully they'll go after the easy food left out just for them and leave your plants or bird food alone.

This is also a humane option.

Answer 7

Pellet gun, traps, if you have bird feeders out put peeper in with the seeds the squirrels will burn there tounges but the birds don't get phased by it.

Also try and spread some human hair(from shaving or haircuts) around the yard if they smell people they might stay away.

Also wolf urine

Answer 8

I like squirrels but it sounds as if you have more than your share. I would go to Sam's or cosco and buy a large container of cayenne pepper. mix with water and spray whatever plants can not be harmed by it.
