If you were to hang a birdtable, nuts, fat balls etc off a wire
like this, between two largish (so they couldn't jump over it) bits of
spinning slate/board etc, I wonder if it might work for squirrels too??
Just a thought....

It's one of the common ways of dealing with them,

Is it? Oh well, great minds think alike then :-)

It wasn't my idea!

But if I wanted to kill squirrels, which I don't, it would have been one I'd
try.

On the other hand, a squirrel once got itself into one of our ponds and out
again. There's nothing quite so miserable as a sodden squirrel but it did
get out of a sheer sided plastic lined pond so it might have done from a
barrel.
