Just don't shoot the neighbor, despite his unacceptable behavior....
I have lost trees to squirrels. Very expensive trees. 2 years ago I used a new cut paste and 1 or more squirrels liked the taste. I lost several trees, including an old expensive Japanese White Pine, before I realized why they were being gnawed. I tried trapping them. No luck. I have 88 acres so there is little danger in shooting, so out came the .22 and down wen the culprits. It was like bailing a boat with a hole in it. More squirrels filled the vacated space so the population is fine. The new squirrels leave my trees alone.
This year the squirrels have been getting into the engine compartment of my Chevy truck. No damage yet. I have explained to them, as plainly and simply as I can, the consequences of messing with my truck. They don't seem to listen. My wife thinks it is odd behavior. She thinks the squirrels are acting strange too...
