Wish I could just give my nephew a bad of pellets and the ole Benjamin pellet gun but that won't fly around here.
So any ideas would be great.

FWIW, My uncle lived in Thibodaux and would shoot squirrels all the time, it was a never ending battle the were always in his fig tree. He also used a big rat trap baited with peanut butter and killed them. Maybe feed them some peanuts or something, those are cheap.
