I just eradicated as many as I could during season with a .22. Fun shooting those bastages in the head. They literally destroyed an all metal Moultrie feeder. I was sure that thing would keep them at bay and the bigger capacity would last but it leaked and they destroyed it too. I've put cooking spray so they slide off. My metal feeder had a varmint cage that they destroyed. Even a feeder away from trees gets squirrels coming to it from the closest trees. They literally chewed holes in plastic Moultrie feeders and destroyed wiring and motor to feeder. I gave up and use some old flat out feeders that I have left.
