Default Re: Freakin SQUIRRELS!

I can confirm that Critter Ridder does nothing.
Nor does Fox Urine. Didn't even slow 'em down.
Have not had any luck with blood meal either.
The only thing that has seemed to work to some degree for me is cayenne pepper sprinkled liberally around the garden. Unfortunately, it washes away with every rain.

I despise squirrels. They not only ruin the garden on ground level, they dig everything up on my rooftop terrace as well. Killed one banana plant last year and I keep finding peanuts (in the shell) everywhere.

Apparently they were a source of food in the Great Depression... the first one I mean.
