Gray squirrels are a horrible pest in your yard or orchard.  They are
easily killed by using a wire live trap with peanut butter or corn or
bread as bait. Don't use a .22 to kill trapped squirrels because you
will get blood on trap or you will hit a wire with bullet and break
it.  Take trap with squirrel in it and submerge in tub of water to
drown pest.  Then eat squirrel.  A vertical rat on a tree doesn't
work well.  Don't talk about pest control because do-gooder neighbors
will be outraged.
