Crenra has it right. Buy a trap, use the Havahart trap, bait it with unsalted peanuts on the treadle, and drown in the Rubbermaid tub. Use the peanuts because they don't attract ants, but trust me, they are irresistable to squirrels. BTW, once you start trapping, you'll catch 100's of them.

You know, when I opened the hood to change the oil I noticed broken/chewed acorns on the top of the engine --- and, strange, I've noticed the little guys oddly getting close to, under, crawling up on the tops of the tires. Now, sometimes when I'm out of town, the truck sits for week/two weeks untouched. And, on colder days with the sun shining on the hood the engine compartment must be toasty... Ugh, I'm gonna go check for damage myself...
Also, DON'T PUT LIVE 110 AC in engine compartment, esp not next to fuel system... Duh... truck go kaboom.

Trapping is too much work and only gets one per trap per time. Neighbors may snivel about shooting.
Use LOTS of poisoned bait until the threat is destroyed. If they live in pine trees, bait the trunks so they can get a nice fatal snack on the way down.

My real question is, with a poison solution, what about pet cats/dogs? Most folks face that reality.
