A .22 with 'scope mounted on it works pretty well on squirrels. The scope helps a lot if you're old like me, and have gotten to be too farsighted to get a decent sight-picture with iron sights.
Lots of folks don't appreciate how destructive those little "tree rats" can be!

I chose a more final solution--an efficient killer trap from Forest Supply, ordered on the internet. 1 jar of cheap peanut butter will provide bait for probably 100 squirrels. Those (#($((%) squirrels --eastern Grays, which are an invasive species here in CA--are very aggressive and push out the native squirrels, After 20 years of no problems, they chewed up my rotator loops on my treetop array, which eventually caused me to replace everything, at enormous cost. I have no empathy or sympathy for them. The deer mostly break my Beverages.
