Soft music, candlelight dinner, nice cologne, flowers, jewelry, or alfalfa?

Maybe a little casual flirting, some light conversation, feigning interest in their lives? I dunno; it works on other creatures...

Seriously though, they attack the birdseed block on my parents' deck mercilessly. I'd say head down to the feed store and get some birdseed; that ought to do the trick. Honestly, I could shoot 10 of them a day off the deck.

The cheapest, genaric peanutbutter you can find. Smear it directly to a log or rock, etc.

If the dancing girls and candlelights with peanut butter dinner don't work you can always start a wood or brush pile in your special spot.

Around my place any piles even dirt piles are like a magnet to digger squirrels. I know what you mean about the "certian spot".
You don't need a giant ugly pile of stuff, a pickup load of firewood or some old lumber will make a good backstop and squirrel lure.

Go to your local feed store and get a bag of barley ... not rolled... or whole oats and put out about a cupfull in a half dozen locations... it is very vizable and they will investigate if they are around.... the birds will also, but they won't eat much of it unless you have a load of starlings or grackels
