Not happy with the squirrels

I always say the squirrels have to eat too so we've done nothing to stop them from eating the seeds, nuts, and fruit we put out for the birds. And how do they repay us? Well we came home earlier in the week and discovered that something was chewing holes in the Rubbermaid box we store the seed in. We have two small trash cans inside the box that we store sunflower and nyjer seed in but we hadn't gotten one yet for the nut/fruit mixture. I guess they could smell the food and proceeded to chew away. This first picture shows some of the holes they've made in the box.

We ran errands today and caught the squirrel below on top of the box when we pulled into the driveway.

And if you look carefully in the next picture, you'll see the end of his tail as he went inside the box.

My husband is at Home Depot now picking up chicken wire to attempt to block the hole.
