There will be no super squirrels, eventually they will all get relocated. Relocation is permanent.

That's your final solution to the squirrel problem?

Yes, like history has shown relocation is a lie.

I've never heard of squirrels fucking with gardens before.

I don't know about the American experience but eastern canadian squirrels act differently from western canadian squirrels. The main reason seems to be that in the east they lack any kind of natural predator, especially in urban areas.

Have coyotes gotten to that part of Canada yet?

Rather than treating the squirrels as a problem, GF, you should treat them as an opportunity:

Squirrel Pot Pie Recipe

Squirrel is just about the most ethical thing you can serve on a dinner plate; it's free-range, plentiful, low in fat, and low in food miles (local).
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Those hillbillies were on to something.

I want to eat them but my girlfriend refuses. :(

Cats don't climb trees fast enough & dogs aren't predators for anything. No coyotes here, yet.

Leave the fucking squirrels alone, man.  They were there before you anyway.

I don't know how she managed to do it actually.  She also caught a gopher last year too.

Guess who had to get rid of the dead rodent afterwards. <_<

Your dog is a wolf?

Atleast you own the dog! The neighborhood cats leave me dead birds all the time.

She's a Yukon rescue dog, so anything is possible.  She's pretty dumb though.

Last week my car, who is a thouroughly indoor-only cat, for some reason my wife decided to put him outside on a lead in the front yard.  About a minute later my 3 year old is yelling "daddy come look!".  Yup - he caught himself a mouse.
