I am one of those sinners who actually fed the little devils. Bought dried corn on the cob for them. Then at a time when I guess I was lax on puttong corn out for them they chewed huge holes in the plastic trash can that I stored the corn in. Ruined like over half a barrel of corn because it rained and the corn went bad. I got rid of the corn and also the trash can and I don't feed them anymore. In fact, I sprayed watered down pine sol all over the patio where I fed them, patio table and chairs, everything there as a matter of fact. the squirrels left. I kinda miss their antics, but not their destructive ways.
