It is fairly easy to have a heart them.  The tricky part is figuring out how they get in.  For years I was catching and releasing them.  It wasn't until I changed the roof that the problem went away.  I won't confirm or deny where the release occurred.  I think that is the illegal part.RobSent

No help re indoor squirrels, but if they’re proliferating around a bird feeder and stripping flower buds and budding leaves, get “Hot Meats” for the feeder; they’re sunflower hearts coated with chili oil. They have no effect on birds-no burning sensation-but clear the yard of squirrels very
