When squirrels are set up in your yard they can potentially cause a lot of issues, especially if they find entry into your home. Gnawed wires, dug-up plants<\/a>, and even damage to outside furniture could all be caused by this backyard pest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what legal rights do you actually have in the USA to deal with these rodent pests yourself, and would killing them be against the law?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all but three US states, you can legally exterminate squirrels in your yard with a snap trap. Like its smaller mousetrap counterpart, this device will attract squirrels with bait before snapping their necks. Shooting squirrels with any type of gun in your yard is against the law. Certain squirrel populations are, however, protected under law.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you currently have a squirrel infestation in your local area, please read on to find out some more effective ways to deal with them as well as prevent further issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
