    I've heard of this and tried it but it did not work for me.

    I had some success with mothballs, but that's dangerous if you have dogs.

    I resorted to netting.

    We've tried everything, and the only thing we've had real success with is trapping and relocating the hungry little critters. We have found that marigolds seem to help repel ground squirrels. Good luck!

    Human hair... go to your nearest salon an take the cuttings for a few days, spread it around and in your garden. This should keep all manner of little critters, including cats, out of your garden with the bonus of putting much needed nitrates back into the earth. Marigolds and netting work too!

How do I get rid of squirrels? [ 2 Answers ]

I have a problem with squirrels. They have eaten my tomatoes, flowers, and carved pumpkins. I need a safe way that won't harm any other animals (my neighbor's dog is known to attack squirrels), so antifreeze is kind of out of the question. They even go into my garbage and rummage through that.
