I'm hoping it will live up to expectations, mine & yours! Going to plant everything much closer to the house this time. Maybe it will help keep the squirrels at bay!

I wonder if a bar of soap would work with squirrels, it does with deer for a short time. 
Might be worth a shot.

Marianne mentioned dryer sheets. I'm planning to have everything in containers with smooth sides or a lip that they cant climb over.

I'm beginning to think there isn't anything that works on squirrels! The ones up here are flat out mean spirited too - they don't want the food, they just don't want anybody else to have the food!

We have very tiny ground squirrels. They completely devoured my garden last year in 3 days flat! I don't like to kill anything I'm not going to eat, but if they even think about eating my garden this year, they DIE!
The "Old Man" next door swears by chewing gum. They eat it and it "clogs" them up and they die. I may have to try it this year.

It's supposed to work for ground hogs, too. But, I really don't think it did anything. I'm not sure, but I think I saw a few of them blowing bubbles. And a couple of them were having a contest to see who could blow the biggest bubble.

I kinda had the same feeling! I think the "Old Man's" "dead" squirrels were all over here eating vegetables and chicken feed with Wrigley's spearmint for dessert!

as a visual deterant hanging old CDs shiney sides out is supposed to help, it REALY helps with deer but im not sure how it would do with ground squirels...
I say taking up target practice with a bb or pellet gun would be your best bet...

CDs don't work. Tried it! They are very tiny and fast! I've tried a pellet gun and have never been able to hit one! I have hit one with a rock though! Sheer luck!pinkfox said:
