Squirrel bite the ends off so they can get the sap. It makes a mess but probably won't hurt the tree. I call them flying rats and I'd like to eliminate all squirrells from my yard. If they get in your garage or house, they won't go back to living in a tree. Time for d-con but get a couple extra boxes.
