Yes, feeding them might actually be the best way to deal with this problem. I have a neighbor across the alley that sings to the squirrels every day "squirly squirly, where are you?" to announce feeding time. So he is really the problem here I think. But even without him I am sure there are plenty of people and trash cans here in Los Angeles that feed these nasty things. No end in sight

So I am wondering what would happen if there was a pile of peanuts in my yard, if the squirrel would take the peanuts and bury them in my pots, or if it would take the nut and realize it doesn't have to save any nuts for the winter or looks for saved nuts in my pots.

Maybe I do a combo. Feed the squirrels, but take them out one by one. I think that's a winner!
