Squirell Control

No. There is nothing you can do, unless you live in an area where you've got
a couple of miles of nothing in any direction so you can use a .22 rifle.

I beg to challenge that statement. See here:

or perhaps an older .22 that takes short, long, and LR and use this stuff:

Caution must still be employed however...

BTW - are you sure it is the squirrels digging the holes and not chipmunks,
moles, skunks, etc?

Keep in mind that 54% of the population is too stupid to operate a spoon.
While it's possible in a typical suburban neighborhood to evaluate a target
and determine if it's safe to take a shot, the odds (as shown earlier)
aren't even 50/50 that it'll be done safely.

.22 birdshot works well, and has a very short range. Available at any most
any sporting goods store. Called rat shot.
