I guess I've been lucky with the squirrels. I think if the Shihtzu ever caught one, he would definitely eat it...
Funny you just made me gag here, our neighbours across the street used to have two full sized Collies and one day she let them in from the back yard and the one dog immediately barfed up a whole Squirrel but in bits and pieces...
This women is tough as nails and has raised many kids but this just put here over the top, she barfed on top of the dog barf in the kitchen while trying to clean it up.
LOL

In addition to this, may I suggest you get hold of a powerful blue lazer? Its not at all plesant, but it has the advantage of causing the animal a sudden, sharp pain, something which they will seek to avoid. As mentioned by other posters, squirrels are rats with better PR, but at the end of the day, rats are pretty damned smart.
Therefore, if you blast them with powerful lazers, they will likely bugger off and leave your homes infrastructure in peace, rather than nibbled chunks.

Though I love watching the crazy antics of squirrels I can see how too many would be a problem. Just this morning I counted about 15 on my way to work. That's on one street. Left unchecked that number could quadruple in a year.

That is hilarious! Thanks for the chuckle. Evidently your aerial hobby signals the instinctive
"Flee From Hawk" response. What Fun...Chop Chop!
