So you do not see these around much anymore but they do work when it comes to getting those little buggers back out of the hole and settled back down.
It is called a Cutting Call and is very easy to make
Go to your local hardware store and get you a Nylon Bolt or All Thread then grab you a couple of guitar pics an old credit card works well too. If you listen to a Squirrel chewing on a nut you can easily duplicate the sound
Take your shot, then sit down and start popping the card or pic across the thread make it sound like grinding teeth click click pop ... click click pop
It will not be long before they will settle back down and stick their little heads back up to see who is chowing down
