It is not your place in nature to disrupt the natural orders of things The bird will soon learn to protect its eggs from the squirell without your help. Maybe there is not enough food for the squirell in your yard try setting squirell food out for the squirll but dont scare it away ]
Hello,
My grandmother had the same issue only it was another type of bird. The other answer was good but truth is that even if you catch it and release it somewhere else, another one will take it's place. The squirrel only eats the eggs because it is hungry. If you keep the squirrel fed well, it won't eat the eggs. If you domesticate it, it guards the tree and the eggs. (squirrels are very territorial) Crazy world, but it works.
Good luck!

You're not going to be able to scare the squirrel away from its home. What you should do is get a Have-A-Heart trap, catch it, and release it a few miles away. Make sure you check the trap often because if the squirrel is left in it too long it could die. Also, make sure you release the squirrel in a safe place. A place where you know other squirrels live would be ideal. Don't just drop it off at someone else's house. Try to find a place where there's a good amount of forest for it to live. Good luck! :) ]
