Hot pepper helps with squirrel problems, put it where you think they travel. If you have any wires going into the house they will climb the wires. Put hot pepper sauce on the wires, good luck.

It is against the law in most states to kill or poison them.. I have to put out RAT poison cubes to help control my Tree rat problem however the squirrels keep eating it and dying! they seem to love the taste!

Please visit us at www.squirrelevictor.com....We at Evictor Products have a product called the "Squirrel Evictor". It uses a high intensity strobe light that annoys their sensitive eyes and removes them from a residence safely and harmlessly. It is a more humane method of eviction that will make trapping squirrels obsolete! It is cheaper and more efficient than trapping.

Here's some tips from another site...
realtytimes.com:
"I can say with some certainty that as long as there are plenty of food sources out of doors and the weather is warm, rodents will remain outside. As the weather turns cooler, they'll check into any motel that will have them.
Set up roadblocks. Seal access to your house with sheet metal, steel wool or cement, especially around vents, pipes and ducts. Make sure windows and doors close properly. Keep garbage in sturdy cans with tight-fitting lids.
Remove nesting materials such as newspapers and boxes from the walls and off the floors. Store firewood, lumber and building supplies away from buildings and at least a foot off the ground.
Trim bushes and hedges away from the house and clean up plant debris to prevent nesting.
Baits should be put in low-traffic areas such as basements, garages and attics. Once they consume the bait, mice leave the area to die.
Set the bait in dark corners -- behind the stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer. In fact, put the bait in as many places as possible without endangering children and pets.
Check the bait frequently and discard any that's wet and contaminated. Check to see whether a large amount was consumed. If so, increase it, because the rodent infestation is bigger than you thought.
Put traps in high-traffic areas. If mice aren't caught in four or five days, move the traps. Peanut butter, nuts and cheese are effective baits for mousetraps.
If the bait and traps have remained undisturbed for 15 days, it is likely that the problem is solved."
