Seems like you can't post to the right places. This definitely wasn't for that .jobs NG. Xposted to sci.electronics.misc
First off, you have to get a natural predator of squirrels. I've never seen squirrels on campus at work because we have a nesting pair of hawks. This time of year they abandon the nest and let junior fend for himself. We see bits of critters laying around under the trees. Good riddance.
Another approach is to use your own enginuity. Try trapping the little thief. What to do with him when you catch him is another matter.
Maybe you could impeove your sharpshooting skills by using a BB gun.
