Squirrels make good eating...

I shoot them with a pellet gun. We have lots of raptors in this part of Michigan and the hawks, owls and eagle haul them away usually within a day or two

Yep. Add some turnips and home made warm corn bread and you have a pretty good meal...Squirrel is actually kinda tasty as well.
That "air rifle" is no joke. My neighbor accidently killed a deer with one of those. He thought he could "plunk" it in the butt to keep it away from his plants. He is a shitty shot and hit it in the ribs. Must have hit a lung and the thing was dead in 30 seconds. Fortunately for him the coyotes and hawks stripped the carcass clean before anyone noticed. He could have gone to jail or been fined $10,000 if anyone reported him.Here's the one I recently bought. It works really good. I had a Benjamin .177 for many years, it finally bit the dust, so I decided to get a .22 caliber.

If they are coming down from the trees, I don't think previously mentioned ideas to keep them off of the boat will help. Moving the boat or cutting the trees may be your only option.Thank you all for the advice! Didn't realize those little ba$tards were so notorious for wreaking havoc.
I should have specified. The boat is on land behind the garage and there are trees around. I wish I could put it in the garage but it won't fit. I will give the moth balls a try and look into an owl/hawk decoy. I really like the pellet gun idea. I could use a new toy.
Do you mean @Pirate Lady is getting "Squirrelly" on us?@Pirate Lady has gone off topic, "Squirrel?" on us...
Air rifles! Now you in my neighborhood. Check out UMAREX, Precision air rifles and pistols. They make a .50 professional hunter model that can take down a cape buffalo.
Not your daddy’s shoot-your-eye-out-kid Daisy. i have one of their pistols and wouldn’t want to be on receiving end. Although.177 BB caliber, at nearly 1,000 fps it will penetrate a skull and drop a perp dead instantly. Ya, a BB pistol, even fits red dot laser. And yes, i carry, no permits required.
They have many that are legal for deer hunting in most, not all, states.
When the 2nd amendment collapses, these will be the future.

I need to order one of those to rid myself of chipmunks.You need this. I just ordered one. Can’t wait! Evil bastards are decimating my garden.
They used to piss off Dave too.I need to order one of those to rid myself of chipmunks.
I have had a full carry pistol permit for over 50 years. I also have an 03 FFL. I can order an AK47 with ammo and have it shipped directly to my house. But local restrictions won't let me receive an air rifle or pistol.Air rifles! Now you in my neighborhood. Check out UMAREX, Precision air rifles and pistols.

When the second amendment fails, the first amendment won't be far behind.
