Answers:
i have tried lots of stuff. the best thing i ever diod to prevent this was to get a dog. A cool thing you can do is hanf your feeders from a pole (or shepherds hook) so that the squirrel cannot just jump from a fence or building onto the feeder...then take some grease and spread it on the pole. its fun to watch a squirrel think he's gonna pig out and start climbing up, gets to the grease and goes right back down.
Air Rifle. .22 is best.
A 12 guage shotguns does a pretty good job, 100% success rate
Learn to enjoy them! They're actually quite cute. Try putting out food specifically for the squirrels and chipmunks -- corn and sunflower seeds this will help keep them out of the feeders. You can also use feeders that are non-squirrel friendly. There are some that have a collapsible perch that won't hold the weight of a squirrel, and others that will spin the squirrel off. Squirrel baffles will only "baffle" them for a short time.
