I'll wait around with you for answers, if you don't mind. They are wrecking my garden too.
the only thing i know what works is : get some hot crushed pepper ,cook in hot water , let sit for a while ,so it get's stronger. then pour it into a spray can, but filterd . Spray around the base of your plants and the squirrels won't touch them , It's to hot for them. respray every couple of days and after rain.
It works for me
410 shot gun never fails
Either live capture traps or an air rifle. ~
Or both.
You can also sprinkle moth balls around the out side of the garden. It will keep squirrels and rabbits out. you could also use the flake form, but after a rain you would hav eto redo.
hot pepper wax insect repellent sold at stores like wal-mart
or make a tea from hot peppers (like sun tea) do not cook or boil , just steep peppers in water .
I have a natural repellent...three little dogs. I have seen repellents at Lowe's for almost anything - squirrels, deer, gophers, etc. I can't say if they work or not, but it might be worth a try.
get yourself a plastic garden owl and some plastic snakes that are real looking . also sprinkle cayenne pepper .
Maybe it's not squirrels. I have a large garden, and a LOT of squirrels in the neighborhood. I have NEVER had a problem with eaten plants. I can watch the squirrels run through my yard.
You will spend much time and effort with sprays and repellents for very little return. The ONLY positive solution is to shoot them. Alternatively you can trap them, but extermination is the answer.
spread dried red peppers around your yard. doesnt kill any plants but gets rid of animals.
i am not sure' but i think if you put rat poisoning down it'd help
maybe leave out a little spicy stuff like habaneros, jalapenoes, thai peppers and stuff like that. It wont kill them but it might discourage them!!
