Red Squirrels. Cute as hell but fuck those guys. I had to remove hundreds of walnuts from my garage and they just filled it right back up. They are so fast shooting them with a pellet gun is near impossible because they never hold still. They also are apparently too smart for traps.

The ones up here must be the dumbass cousins then. The tipping board over a garbage can of water with peanut butter at the end literally catches multiple a day until my father in law finally caught the ones repeatedly digging into the eaves of his house. He got so tired of bashing their heads in with a shovel and chucking them in the back field.

I also used peanut butter in the traps. Maybe these guys knew I was after them.
Are you sure they weren't grey Squirrels? Those guys are dumb and slow but they also don't hoard and nest in dwellings so no need to get rid em.

He caught squirrels of every color, it was red ones that were digging and he eventually caught them with the same trap.
