Animals poisoned by DeCon generally die out in the open. The go in search
for water as they begin to bleed to death internally and become dehydrated.
They could pose an environmental hazard to other predators, including
domestic pets. Other animals beside the squirrels may also eat the DeCon.
Afraid I can't really think of any unsupervised method that will be
guaranteed to affect only squirrels.

I'm on my way to the river for a week so there will be no supervision. I
have some packages of DeCon, for mice. What would be the consequence of
putting that DeCon out for the squirrels to eat? I assume the squirrels
would go into their hole to die, thereby not posing a problem with the
coyotes or birds spreading the DeCon. I honestly hate to do this, but I
also want to save my pepper patch. Is there an environmental hazard?
I'm at my wit's end. I HATE SQUIRRELS!!!!
