I can imagine they can be a bit annoying , but then so can birds nesting in the roof and scratching about, but we have learned to tolerate those and enjoy the beauty of every living creature, I hope you can find it in your heart to do the same.
We don't have them either in Aussieland, though we do have Possums and they are just as silly ... I was living in a place with a couple and there was this huge hole in their roof. One night, I hear an almighty scream and this possum had jumped from the hole to their curtain rail (a distance of at least four feet!) the girl was in HYSTERICS, but luckily Mr Possum soon vanished back up the hole!

I would love to have squirrels in my back yard, I think they are cute ... but I have a question - what do your cats and dogs think of the squirrels?
