This is my nemesis, Mr. Squirrel. He has two desires in life: to eat trash and scare the tar out of Mindi Bennett. This evil master mind has discovered a way to "kill two birds with one stone" so to speak. 
He chewed a hole in our trash can lid so that he can access all our trash. Then when I walk out to the trash can and lift the lid, a screeching beast comes flying out. It happens 87% of the time and without fail I let out a bloodcurdling scream. I know the neighbors must wonder why I would scream each time I take out the trash. Curse that Mr. Squirrel.

Haha! Classic Mindi. :)
We have tons of squirrels in Indiana, too. So many that we call them tree rats. They're everywhere. (In fact, one of the reasons we bought a house in a new subdivision was to get away from those pests! No big trees = no squirrels.)
Anywho, I have seen people use big rubber snakes to scare away birds and squirrels around here. It might be worth a try. (I suspect it would take a pretty big rubber snake, but you can get them at wal-mart. Maybe tape it to the garbage can?)
Mindi,
Kaia cracks me up. Look at that picture with the bow on her head!!! That NEEDS to be framed!
That is awesome! I share your hatred of squirrels, after last summer them breaking into my kitchen on a number of occasions! Blast them! And me relocating them to the park didn't last for more than a week before they showed up again...I dread this summer! Thanks for the laugh and image of you taking out the garbage!
Oh I have a live trap if you want to try to relocate this overgrown rat! Just let me know!
