你应该在院子里杀死松鼠吗？
First of all, you have to decide on your overall strategy.
Do you want to kill the squirrels or simply discourage them from tearing up your yard and garden, thus curing their bad habits?
In other words, do you want to kill ’em or cure ’em? There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
杀了他们
Killing the squirrels is a permanent solution that settles their hash once and for all. In an enclosed area such as an attic or basement where you can control the entrances or gain control over them, killing all the squirrels is downright doable.
在您不可能控制所有可能入境手段（例如院子或花园）的区域中，您会很快发现它们的繁殖速度比杀死它们的速度快。换句话说，这成为一场永无止境的战斗。
治愈
Discouraging squirrels by means of repellents, barriers, and deterrents to cure them of their habit of tearing up your yard and/or garden is also a never-ending battle.
但是，由于无论您做什么，都将是这种方式，因此最好尝试后一种方法。为了获得总体最佳效果，我们建议两者组合。
您应该在院子里使用陷阱吗？
杀死的陷阱松鼠有多种样式和设计，但大多数具有类似盒子的装置，它利用有吸引力的诱饵吸引松鼠进入。然后，扳机激活陷阱并杀死它们。老式的快照陷阱也广泛可用。
You’ll want to keep some一次性乳胶手套on your hand to protect you from the blood and bodily fluids which will be released when the trap kills them. Squirrels also carry fleas and ticks which you want to be aware of.
Live capture traps对于松鼠而言，尽管它们的基本设计有些标准化，但也有广泛的选择。
A wire cage with a hanging trapdoor is set out with an attractive bait inside it. When the squirrels try to get the bait, they activate the trigger which releases the door, catching the squirrel inside.
Then you have to figure out what to do with the squirrel.
搬迁松鼠so they don’t find their way back to your house means you have to take them at least five to ten miles away, preferably further.
You must also bear in mind that live squirrels carry just as many fleas and ticks as dead ones, and putting them in your car means putting the bugs in your car as well.
Should you use repellents for squirrels in your yard?
Repellents do exactly what the name would suggest; they repel squirrels with sounds or smells that offend or scare them. Deterrents are usually shields, baffles, or barriers that prevent squirrels from getting past them.
Find A Local Exterminator
Should You Use Baits For Squirrels In Your Yard?
松鼠的啮齿动物诱饵通常是一种抗凝毒药，并混合了某种吸引剂。由于这些诱饵是有毒的，因此您需要小心，并使它们无法触及宠物和小孩。
可用于此目的可用防篡改的诱饵盒。松鼠可以进入盒子里吃诱饵，但大型动物和人类不能。
重要的提示: tamper resistant doesn’t mean 100% tamper-proof. A determined dog or child can get them open if they persist in their efforts, so keep an eye on them.
诱饵盒可以固定在树木，屋顶，围栏和松鼠喜欢跑和玩耍的其他区域上。他们一开始会避开它们，但最终，他们的好奇心会得到最好的，他们会冒险在里面尝试诱饵。
After that, it’s just a matter of time. The advantage here is you generally don’t have to dispose of the dead bodies because they usually return to their nests when they start feeling sick.
您应该在院子里使用驱虫剂做松鼠吗？
If baiting and trapping isn’t your cup of tea, then using repellents and deterrents will be the method(s) you’ll have to use.
Repellents do exactly what the name would suggest; they repel squirrels with sounds or smells that offend or scare them. Deterrents are usually shields, baffles, or barriers that prevent squirrels from getting past them.
创建超声声音的设备in the 25 kHz to 80 kHz range are used to repel squirrels with alternating frequencies that irritate or frighten them. These electrical devices can be either solar powered or require an electrical outlet.
通常，它们是一个尖峰，头顶上方都在地面上。头部由小太阳能电池板覆盖，并有发出超声声音的扬声器（人类听不到的）。
The effective range of these repellers varies between 50-70 feet depending on the brand, so you’ll most likely have to get three or four of them (or more) and plant them close enough together to create overlapping fields.
这样，您可以覆盖整个院子。来自不规则节奏的不同方向的多个信号将在松鼠中引起大量的搅动。
Within 5-6 weeks they’ll begin leaving for a less stressful environment.Odors that squirrels find offensive可以在自然界中找到，制造商捕获了它们并将其装瓶以供您使用。
These liquid repellents, including urine from predators such as foxes and coyotes, are then sprayed around the yard and garden at strategic spots to keep squirrels away. You’ll need to re-apply them about twice a week on average to maintain their efficiency, as well as immediately after a heavy rainfall.
由于您会如此频繁地使用它们，因此您可能应该一次买几瓶。您可能会获得数量折扣，并且还可以节省运输。
Should You Use Deterrents For Squirrels In Your Yard?
Methods of deterrence can be baffles over or under bird feeders to hinder their access to the birdseed, area-covering squirrel spikes that will pierce or prick their feet when they try to walk across it, fine mesh chicken wire, and netting.
自制的疗法可以包括包裹在树木和杆子上的金属薄片，以防止它们爬上它，或者，可以将油涂在杆子上，以使它们太光滑，以至于松鼠无法爬。
This short video will show you more tips on how to get rid squirrels in your yard or garden.
Which Method Should You Use?
Let’s start easy and work our way up.
Keep in mind that any method mentioned will work for both your garden and your yard, except for netting and chicken wire which are special cases and will be dealt with last.
Single-use method
一次性方法是特别依赖于一种方法的方法。不幸的是，松鼠聪明且适应能力。
他们很快就会学习，无论您一开始用一种方法取得了多大的成功，很快他们就会开始学习以避免它，您的成功率将下降。然后，您将回到开始的地方。
如果你坚持使用一个方法,或者不能fford to use more than one right now, we recommend trapping. Place the trap or traps near the base of a different tree or pole each time you set them.
每次在不同位置发现它们时，这种变化将使松鼠保持平衡并激发其正常好奇心。陷阱还具有杀死松鼠以永久减少其数量的优势。至少直到他们有更多的垃圾。
The Trapping Method
Start with trapping around the perimeter of the yard or garden so the trap(s) is the first thing they encounter. Every squirrel that gets killed is one less you have to worry aboutinsideyour yard or garden.
A lot of squirrels are probably already inside your yard or are gaining access by jumping from one tree to another, so be sure to place a trap at the base of half of the trees.
Next, use a liquid repellent之间the traps to drive them toward the devices for an early demise. Squirrels want to come into your yard – and garden – and will keep hunting for a way in.
If a trap is sitting in the middle of that way, it vastly improves the odds of them investigating it to their everlasting sorrow. Put the repellent around the base of each tree that doesn’t have a trap.
液体驱虫剂必须每周两次补充。利用它作为移动所有陷阱的机会（无论您是否抓到任何东西），并在陷阱所在的位置喷洒驱蚊剂。每周两次这样
引诱的方法
Using the same pattern as combination number one, substitute bait and bait boxes for the traps.
陷阱，诱饵和驱虫剂的组合
Use a combination of traps, bait boxes, and two different repellents in the same pattern as numbers one and two above, but alternate the traps and bait boxes at random. Sun Tzu, in his seminal work,The Art of War, advises us to know our enemy, in this case, squirrels.
他们的自然好奇心将导致他们每次陷阱曾经遇到过一个诱饵盒时进行调查，反之亦然。交替的液体驱虫剂将进一步混淆松鼠，增加它们被漏斗到您设置陷阱和诱饵盒的区域的机会。
所有的方法
这是全程选择，它使用超声波尖峰与多个液体驱蚊剂一起将松鼠驱逐出您的硬质花园。
The spikes have to stay where you place them. Just make sure that none of them are on the same tempo or beat, thus you always have one or more them sounding while others are quiet.
Spray the repellents around all the trees and poles in the yard as well as around the spikes. Squirrels will sometimes investigate the source of the irritating noise in an attempt to stop it.
液体驱虫剂将有助于阻止它们，从而增强他们对发生不良事件的看法，他们应该前往其他地方的绿色牧场。
Should You Use Netting or Chicken Wire?
据承诺，网状和鸡线是特殊情况，必须与组合选项分开讨论，尽管它们肯定可以与它们结合使用。
Please be aware, using these items will entail a fairly substantial investment of time and labor on your part.
If you want to fully protect your garden (or yard or flower beds, but I’m mainly discussing gardens) you can completely enclose it with a wooden frame covered with netting and anchored with chicken wire at the bottom.
Use post hole digger to dig holes for fences posts around the garden plot as needed. Carefully identify the number of posts needed by the size of your garden. Set the posts and give them a few days to settle.
During that time, dig a trench all the way around the garden, 4-6 inches deep. Make sure it runs along the outside of your fence posts.
Unroll the chicken wire and string it around the garden, ensuring that the bottom edge of it is flush with the bottom of the trench. Stretch it tight and nail it to the fence posts.
将鸡丝牢固地固定在适当的位置后，将污垢铲回沟里，然后将其拧紧。松鼠可以在篱笆下挖掘，但不是很好的藏匿处。
Now that your base is in place, build a framework of lightweight lattice or two-by-fours all the way over the garden. Eight feet high is probably enough in most cases.
晶格到位后，用网盖住它。晶格（或二乘四个）和网络将允许雨水和阳光进入，而网状会使松鼠和鸟类保持范围。
And yes, you’ll need to build a screen door to allow entry. Be sure the door opens outward and nail some chicken wire around the edges so it extends past the edge and overlaps the fence by about 3-4 inches. That’ll keep the squirrels from trying to squeeze through the edges.
Once you’re done (我警告你这是很多工作), use some liquid repellent around the door once in a while to discourage them from exploiting that one vulnerability and your garden should be safe.
