I had a post about squirrels on here a couple of months ago, sorry, I don't know how to attach it here. I had the same issue, I didn't want to see them suffer, was hoping for a one shot kill. My problem is i can't use a .22 in my area, so I'm using a 4.5mm pellet gun. Do i get one shot kills? No, not really and I feel bad about it, but, the red squirrels have been ripping the screens from our 3 season porch and coming in and causing damage. It's a matter of priorities at this point. They cause damage to my garden, our potted plants, they rip the felt liner from inside our grill cover for their nests, sorry, it's war. One thing that works when I'm not around is i fill a 5 gal. pail 1/3 full of water, sprinkle sunflower seeds to cover the water and place a ramp with some seeds so they can climb up and see what they think is a pail full of seed. They jump in, can't get out and drown. Is it humane? I dunno, but it works.
