Keep in mind I said the squirrels would not be happy. I did not say I like them, though at times they are fun to watch. I trapped and "relocated" 24 of them last spring/early summer (as well as two coons, three opossums, and lots of birds by accident), so its not like I want to keep them around. I would allow them to raid my bird feeders but draw the line when they begin to destroy my valuable orchids. Unfortunately, I have several back again. Hopefully these are new ones, not the ones I relocated five miles out of town. It looks like I will be doing some more trapping.

We were told by a professional trapper that you have to relocate them at least ten, but preferably 20, miles to keep them from finding their way back.
