Mary Sue;
I did a search on the net and found a number of references on relocating
squirrels. I have posted one source below.

Relocating Squirrels
Many people decide that they just can’t live with the squirrels. The
squirrels may be doing too much damage to electrical wiring, in the
garden, or to human structures. Squirrels can be live trapped. Be sure
to check with your state agencies for any regulations that may apply to
trapping animals.
Squirrels have to be transported at least a few miles (five is
considered safe) away, or they may find their way back home. One problem
with relocating is that if the squirrel is relocated to an already
populated area, the newcomer may create a disruption. The disruption
could cause the relocated squirrel to be driven out of the area by more
aggressive squirrels or be the cause of existing squirrels being driven
out. This can result in either one being homeless and without adequate
food source. Some squirrels have been known to be traumatized to the
point of death during transportation. If squirrels are removed from an
area, it usually creates a vacuum that is filled eventually by more
squirrels.
