how do you get rid of squirrels?

where are they - in the loft or just raiding the garden? loft is the one that matters. find the hole, wait until they've gone out for the day, and close it with metal mesh, they chew straight through wood and plastic. not in spring though, there may be young inside. for the garden, a baffle on the feeder pole and chilli-treated bird seed - squirrels hate it, birds can't taste it.
