1. Attract birds. Squirrels are smart and know birds can find the best places to eat. Put out some bird seed and the squirrels in your neighborhood will come to check out the new restaurant.
2. Make a simple squirrel feeder by hammering a 2-inch nail into a tree or fence. Cut the tip off of the nail and stick a cob of feeder corn onto it.
3. Provide a source of fresh water. A small portable waterfall will keep the water moving to discourage insects laying their eggs. However, something as simple as a plastic dish of water at the bottom of a tree or near a fence will be appreciated. Be sure to change and refresh the water every few days.
4. Providing nesting boxes will help ensure you have squirrels in your yard to watch all year long.
