Not in my area. I called animal control and they told me to release them far away in a wooded area. So I did just that.
The poison thing is great if they don`t croak in your attic or under your floor. We had one die in the hall floor right next to our bedroom, the stench was bad for about two weeks. One day I will get to that one. But its one room at a time right on the remodel for now.
5 miles isn’t nearly enough; see the links below.
I’m blessed with a home remote enough from neighbors, and with laws permitting, to shoot the beggers. A .22LR hollow point or .22 short or .22 snakeshot, depending on where they are, is quick and efficient, without doing any damage. Unfortunately, these are not a particularly edible squirrel, though the cats don’t object to an occasional treat.
