The most effective? Shotgun.

As tempting as that has been, I don't think my neighbors would like that.

Bumping for interest. Looking for some ideas for people who live in a tight neighborhood (Pretty much rules out firearms). There's like 5 feet between my house and the next.

Quoted By:

If you ate worried about being too close to the neighbors to shoot them, maybe try shooting from your roof so any missed shots go into the ground quickly. If you do that you should be safe to use a .22 or shotgun, or extra super safe with an air rifle.

If you trap them you'll still need to kill them somehow, or release them many miles away.

Air rifles can be pretty dangerous and thus should be never used under the influence! neither should slingshot

Quoted By:

Just get a standard squirrel trap: a cage with a trap door. Then relocate them to some park. If you don't care to trap one alive, then get a 110 conibear trap -- it will be a clear kill.

Shooting at them with a gun will keep them away from your house better than traps will. Traps will just open up your land for the next squirrel to move in. But if you're shooting at them, then they will associate you and the area as hostile and stay away.

Maybe not vegetable crops, but they can be hell on bulbs for tulips and crocuses (croci?) in the spring. OP should get a dog.

Does this work? Not OP here, when my dad used to kill a few off for mucking up his garden/garage he would drown them in a bucket trap. Works well but cleaning up deceased waterlogged rodents is subpar.

A relative of mine used an electric fence power supply. He had two pieces of pipe with a slight gap on the main fence they ran along. he electrified each pipe and they would just pile up.

To be clear, I never saw this thing. Could be BS

Serious answer OP: my yard used to be overrun with squirrels. They got in my neighbors roof, and since then he has been killing any he sees with a pump bb gun.

he lays their carcasses out for the foxes to collect.

My yard is now bereft of squirrels.

I feed mine peanuts. Now they won't even think about eating out of my garden, because they are addicted to peanuts.

So not the most humane way of killing them, but...

Get a five gallon bucket, fill it half way with water and then sprinkle bird seed on top of the water so it floats.

Greedy ass squirrel jumps in, can't get out and eventually drowns.
