What can I mix with peanuts and corn to kill squirrels. They are getting in our attic and causing damage there

We thought about using rat poison, but this is outside and don't want to kill other animals.What can I mix with peanuts and corn to kill squirrels. They are getting in our attic and causing damage there
Don't kill them, just figure out how their getting into your attic %26amp; fix the hole or crack.What can I mix with peanuts and corn to kill squirrels. They are getting in our attic and causing damage there
Mix some cayenne pepper in with that and you will not kill them but if they get some of that in their snoot you will make them think twice about coming back for an other dose
You really don't want to poison them, they may croak in your attic and start stinking up the joint. The best thing to do is squirrel-proof your attic with chicken wire around windows/vents/ flues.
why don't you sort out the holes in your attic then no problem :)
First, fix your holes and areas that they are coming thru. Reinforce them if necessary. Next, buy a squirrel block , or some dried corn for them to nibble on. Feed them, don't fight them. Then everyone will be lovey-dovey
POOR SQUIRRELS WOULDN'T LIKE TO BE FOUND SWATTING IN YOUR HOUSE. WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL THEM IT'S YOUR FAULT THEY ARE THERE BY NOT SEEING TO THE ATTIC AND CHECKING THAT THERE IS NO HOLES FOR ANIMALS TO CRAW INTO.


WANT A PEANUT AND CORN SANDWICH FOR YOU LUNCH TMO LOVE, EXTRA FILLING GETS YOU A AMBULANCE RIDE TO A AND E. NOT NICE SURE IT WOULDN'T BEING ON THE RECEIVING END.
Purchase one of those clickers. They plug into an outlet and are adjustable for loudness. They keep everything from bugs to animals away because the sound is irritating to them. I `ve had one in my attic and basement for 8 years and not a sign of an intruder. They also make them for outdoors. Good luck!

absolutely do not poison anything to feed to squirrels that any other living creature could eat. instead, be responsible homeowners and inspect your attic, sealing off any openings you find. not only will you keep the squirrels out, but you will also keep in some of the heating/cooling that is escaping by having holes in your homes exterior (and, you may as well insulate while you are up there). remember, if there is a hole big enough for a squirrel to use, then anything smaller than a squirrel is also likely to squeeze on in... think, bats, bugs, birds, etc...
Cover the attic where they are getting in, the hole, and the ground outside with ground black pepper, red pepper, and montreal steak seasoning. I know it sounds bizarre, but I had a squirrel problem a few months ago and bought an expensive squirrel deterrent that when opened, smelled just like pepper. So I returned the item and raided my cabinets. I used ground black pepper, ground red pepper, and montreal steak seasoning. They get it on their paws and when they groom themselves, they don't like the taste. It takes a week or two, but they will declare you attic inhospitable and noone dies!!!! You must be consistent...I threw the stuff in there by the cupfull a few times a day. They did leave and I boarded it up. Make sure to close the openings after they leave. Good luck. Oh and by the way, I called an exterminator and it would have been $300 PER SQUIRREL to remove them...it's much cheaper to spend $20 in seasonings.
try calling animal control or an exterminator and asking their advice.
Don't kill the poor things. just call an animal exterminator.
