Getting rid of squirrels in your yard/porch...any ideas?

I have a buddy, lets call him Sampson, he just renovated a house and built an awesome screened in porch in his back yard with a TV, couches, etc.
In 3 months the squirrels have eaten at least 5 holes in the screen and whenever you go out onto the porch, there are at least 2 running around above your head.
Sampson bought a .22 rifle and killed 3 so far, but this has not slowed them down at all. He is scared to keep shooting because he is in the city limits and doesn't want his neighbors to call the cops.
Are there poisons, traps, etc. that any of y'all have used that have helped eliminate squirrels?

rat poison was also created for these pests.

Go to local hardware/feed store and buy larger rat traps. Screw to wood in area where squirrels are being little bastards. Bait traps with peanut butter...... drink beer and profit 
Learned from an old coonass that would set them down Bayou Teche then paddle down and check them...

Catch them in a cage trap. Let the squirrels out on a well traveled road so they can be ran over. That way the OT will have something to eat.

Same issue when we moved in the new place. Put up 2 feeders. Keep 1 full of sunflower seeds the other ears of corn on a spike. The little bastards stay on those feeders and away from the house. Plus its kind of entertaining watching them scrap with each other on the feeders.

Where do you live. My son will most likely pay you his small weekly allowance to be allowed to come shot some squirrels.

But CB caps in a bolt action .22 will do the trick, assuming someone can hit. You can also use a semi-automatic rifle, but it may not cycle - you'll have to manually feed each round.

Either a good pellet gun, or get cb caps (basically a half of a .22).
