I have found that flea bombs work well on small rodents, including
squirrels. The other thing is those sticky pads that come in different sizes.
I place their favorite food near the pads and restrict traffic flow to get to
it. Mice for the most part always travel near the wall, placing sticky pads
along the wall gets them. Rats on the other hand are quite adventurous and
smarter. Squirrels are down right diabolical and deceptive, sneaky and mean
spirited, and seem capable to outsmart me sometimes.
One thing that works nice is a five gallon bucket with a couple inches of
water in it. Float a sterfoam plate on it with peanut butter or seeds. Once
in they can't jump up to get out of the water let alone the bucket and drown
cleanly. This does not work with very large rats, you need a shotgun.
