DO NOT get mad at me, but I am going to tell a story about pnut butter and squirrels. When I lived in Georgia (early 90s,) I had a cedar shake siding home. Squirrels would climb up onto the window casings to gnaw their way inside. My friend had poison that Cobb county had dispensed bc of a problem with sewer rats. Probably arsenic. She gave me some, and I mixed it w pnut butter. Smeared it on the frames. I do not know if squirrels died, but they quit hanging out at my windows. Don't judge me. I like animals, but I was a homeowner and at my wit's end.
