Squirrels do cause some trouble, but to hunt them down and kill them is a little much. They are not much differant than us, just trying to get through the day, put food on the table, a roof over head, and bring up the kids. Besides, they make me laugh. If they are a real problem live trap them and relocate them. Just remember, nature hates a vacuum. New ones will just move in so, I just keep the ones I have.

If you have time (and squirrels) to kill, get an airgun. Great fun!"

Maybe you could just shred up your existing car cover for the squirrel, lay all the bits somewhere near the nest, and he won't bother the car anymore.
While I can't say I'm attained the Zen perfection of not killing things, I would strongly recommend against poison. Too easy for somebody's pet, or worse, a little kid, to get hold of it.
I will swear on a bible though, that I've hit those bastards right between the eyes with 10 pumps on an air rifle just to watch them scamper away unscathed. Nowadays I think I'm too much of a softie to shoot the little critters. Non-lethal shock treatment is always good, though - if you can engineer it. Some batteries, transformer, and capacitor are all you need. Combine that with some kind of video camera "record" switch - you've got yourself a funniest home video.
