It takes less than 400 whatever to disorient a squirrel.
We have a squirrel who's been visiting our office daily since January.
She sits on my desk, (or terminal, or lap) and feeds on cashews and almonds.
Easter-time I expermented giving her a tiny chocolate Easter egg.   Within 1
minute she became paralyzed, her eyes glazed, and she slid off the desk.
I tried nudging her towards the window, but it took a cashew to revive her.
She bit me that time, too (luckily not puncturing the skin).
