Sometimes it's like going out and telling the squirrels to stop eating the birdseed.
I don’t tell them.
Just put them in the crosshairs, & problem solved.

Crosshairs, traps, slingshots, thrown rocks, the kitchen sink sprayer out the window.... have all been used.
I just got my second with the wrist rocket the other day (out of 3000 shots). LOL
But if there is seed out there, they
never quit. Besides dispatching MANY (mostly with crosshairs), the largest decrease in squirrels has been the termination of bird seed (for good).
