don't you have dogs-I assume they don't chase after them?
The local SPCA has cages you can get (I think they'll charge you for them) that you can trap them in and once caught you can drive somewhere far away and release them...
....or you could always cut down every tree in your neighborhood

I have seven HUGE oak trees in my yard. I would be catching squirrels forever.
My little dogs chase them, but my yard dog just sort of watches them.

Surrender. I've tried everything. They got into my attic this year and apparently staged a bowling tournament with my Xmas tree ornaments.
I bought a $120 "squirrel-proof" bird feeder and it took them about two days to learn the necessary gymnastic skills to break into it. Then I put cayenne pepper in the bird seed -- birds can't taste it. I loved watching them rub their little faces in pain. In three days, they'd totally adapted to the spicy diet and were probly about to organize a mariachi band when I gave up.
I even bought a book, "Outwitting Squirrels," totally useless and probably authored by a squirrel. My brother has the same problem, got a couple cats to police his yard, but they much prefer chipmunks.

If you are only concerned about them not going to your hot tub, you could put bird seed or suet somewhere far away in your yard to divert them, but that might just attract more of them.. I wouldn't recommend that though....
Actually, one thought is to get them drunk (I have a true story about that)-soak some walnuts in alcohol and the next day you'll see a few more flattened on the road than usual

Why? So they carry them around the yard in a parade to scare off the birds?

How about emailing Dballer? I bet he likes nothing more than a fried squirrel sandwich with a Moonpie and RC Cola.

You can try...try, mind you, placing a wide sheet of alum. around the truck of the trees...it helps, but they go limb from limb then....best bet, buy a small box trap, use bird seed, catch them, then haul them elsewhere...you'll catch a couple a day...or buy a BB Gun, sting them when they hit the yard...they'll learn, and it only stings them...don't use a pump up pellet gun, that'll kill them....

cayenne pepper, sprinkle a good amount of it around anything you want to keep squirrels away from, it causes there noses to burn and for them to have trouble breathing and thus they will stay away from the area.

I want to hear this story!
Pellet gun or pump BB gun will kill them but you had better check and see if there is a "squirrel sanctuary" there. $500 fine if you get caught killing them.
