OVERKILL

.177 works fine on squirrels, particularly red ones. My cheap old Russian break-barrel will go right through them at 25ft with "Pest Control" pellets.
Black squirrels are a bit harder to take out and I've found and a .22 works better for them. Have you thought about using a .22LR with sub-sonic rounds? A .177 does work however, may just take a few shots.
