Great article, Tamara--very useful information!

I'm wondering about the "Terror Eyes" balloon. Did any of your research indicate that it was effective against small rodents, like ground squirrels? I had a terrible problem last year (although the rubber snake coiled around the tomato plant did help, and am hoping not to have to spend another small fortune in deterrents again this year. Would love a balloon that would do the trick--if it works.

Thanks!

Great question Jill. I'm afraid I've no idea how the balloon would work for squirrels, though. It seems to be marketed mainly for scaring birds. Theoretically, it should work...the squirrels in my yard always run for cover when our neighbor hawk appears!

Glad to hear the rubber snake trick worked for someone... : )
