I have a squirrel living under my shed, and bees trying to take up residence inside my shed (removed the start of 3 nests on Monday). Any suggestions for removing and preventing the return of more squirrels and bees?

If you have paper wasps, not much you can do. Other bees can be trapped. I'd lure the squirrel out into the open with some shelled corn and shoot him or lure him into a Havahart trap with same.

Drill some small holes in the inside wall of the shed where
the bees are nesting.
Get a water activated fumigator.
Put the fumigator in the shed,
activate it,and shut the door.

Get the shopvac out and suck up the bees nest and the bees around it...then shoot some beekiller in the hose while the vac is on to fill the vac...turn off while beekiller is inside...wait. Reopen carefully in the morning after a second shot of beekiller and a wait. squirrels are easy with a havaheart trap and a garbage can full of water and a brick or two.

I usually drive my trapped Squirrels across the LI Sound in the SeaRay & cut them loose at G's.

Steve...they usually starve shortly thereafter....seems we don't have the nut population here that you have....

Squirrels are rats. One Bite At A Time is cheap and effective. One warning....when you feed rat poison they get sick and thirsty. Provide water that is easier to find than water, in your vines.

Can be purchased several ways....I like the pellets. The chipmonks do too. May not get them today but when they deside to eat it will. Also gets mice and voles. Same warning. Establish a temporary watering site close to their favorite areas.
