Default Couple of suggestions...

For 45+ years I have used a .22 single-shot (you typically won't get a 2nd shot) rifle with .22 short or bird-shot (if you can find them) cartridges. I usually get between 25-50 reds a year. For the last 5 years, our population of reds is near none and the greys are increasing and they don't seem to be as destructive as the reds, so I let them be. And, although this won't help you catch them, you can also Google a recipe or two for squirrel.

If you have access, a couple of bug-bombs will make that area undesirable to them.
