We have such an overpopulation of squirrels here that they seem to be consuming pretty much everything. Each year they eat my entire fruit crop, as well as any plant material that is tasty. For instance, I planted sunflowers last week. Two hours after planting, I noticed they had been eaten to the ground. (This is in broad daylight around noon, so I'm quite sure snails aren't the culprit.) During the summer, the squirrels grab the fruit and then sit joyfully eating on our deck.
Anyone have any solutions? We've tried netting the trees and putting covers on other plants, but the squirrels will pretty much find a way in. And, the netting causes some deforming of the trees.
Is there anything that scares or repels squirrels?
