You can hunt them, or you can set traps for them in your yard, and kill them.
That would help control the population.
Squirrels Will emigrate and leave the population
There is no hard data on squirrel population numbers. However, it is estimated there are 1.5 squirrels per acre. In the United States alone there are 747 million acres of inhabited land which calculates to 1.12 billion squirrels in the US - almost three times the human population!
red squirrels are rare in the UK largely because they are out-competed and replaced by populations of the grey squirrels The red squirrel population have decreased because they only eat acorns at certain times. They only eat the acorns when they are ripe. As for the grey squirrels eat the acorns at any time of the year. So the red squirrels don't have as much food and can't reproduce as much. As well the trees are further apart and the red squirrels live on the trees most of the time and can't get about. As the grey squirrels spend most there time on the floor therefore can move about much more.
No. Where the grey and red squirrels intermingle, the red squirrels tend to be pushed out by the larger greys.

Predators control the squirrel population.
Population, squirrels living in an Eco system with birds then the squirrels and birds would make a community.
let a hunter do his job!

first answer: something to do with the other nut-eating animals second answer: Also other animals are eating the tasty squirrels; squirrels running in front of cars or eating live electric lines; less trees for squirrels to live in; tornadoes that kill the squirrels, etc.
