How To Start Stopping The Squirrels

If you want to get squirrels out of your yard there are a number of things you can do.

Let's start at the beginning.

This may seem obvious but the best way to start your ordeal of getting rid of squirrels is to ... Stop Feeding Them.

This means intentional and unintentional.

If you are putting food or nuts in your yard to feed them (so you can watch them), you must stop this.

If you have a bird feeder, the seeds may be dropping from the feeder onto the ground. The squirrels find this and can have a feast. Try to keep it clean.

You may have nuts or fruit falling on the ground from trees. Try cleaning them up.

You may have food coming from your neighbor's tree. Check it out and clean it up.

As long as the squirrels know where to get food, they will continue to come back to it. It is easy food for them so they will enjoy it.

Removing their easy source of food is your first step in this battle. If that doesn't work, you have to move on to the next step. This will be discussed later.
