Go to your local hardware store, puchase a trap or two. It looks like a mesh cage. Bait it with peanuts, and place the trap(s) around your truck. When you catch them, either drown them (imerse the trap in a container of water) or take them far, far away and release them. Be sure to check your local laws to make sure the PETA idiots haven't got the things on the endangered species list or something. Don't use a pellet gun, you'll hit the car for sure, it always happens that way. Or, get a hungry dog and tie it near the truck!

rofl!!

I dont suppose that your neighbors dodge or chevy is feeling "underpowered"?

They may be missing a squirrel or 2.

You may want to check out a local farm and ranch store....I they should have a good source of repelents and various other gadgets....at least they have plenty of ammo for the BB gun!

I think that I've seen a "electronic repeller device" that supposedly works on rodents, wether it would work on squirells is another ?.
