    How do you deter squirrels?

    Seems that lately squirrels are running rampade in the neighborhood eating all of the flowering plants and vegetables planted in my garden. What can I do to keep the fiesty squirrels at bay?

    Put up a sign that says NO SQUIRRELS ALLOWED?

    Take their "nuts" away.

    I HAVE FOUND THE BEST SQUIRREL DETERENT TO BE LOTS OF SMALL CHUNKS OF LEAD MOVING VERRY FAST INTO THEIR TORSO

    I have a bunch of fox squirrels living in my attic.I thought first time i heard them somebody broke in my house.But they are going to get an eviction notice when snow quits.

    cut their nuts off. The edible kind.

    Thanks for your response erchie. The squirrels I'm referring to are in fact the grey ones. There was a time that humans could scare them, but now they seem to challenge you. In fact, they are scaling up and down the side of the house, windows, etc. I've never seen this activity before. They are causing havoc to open areas they find in the roof and chimney. Can I call someone to get rid of them or at least put something out that will chase them away so that they leave me alone? (smile) I don't want to kill them.

    hi golden lady,there are two types of squirrel on the go. one is the grey squirrel which is classed as vermin and can be humanly destroyed as they bring a deadly infection to the red squirrels. i put plenty of nuts all over the garden and prey they dont meet,its also a source of food for the wild birds.if you havent fed the birds before try it,you will see some lovely birds. hpoe this helps
