Post by: Jasper1 on July 04, 2010, 19:19

HELP PLEASE!!!  How can I stop squirrels eating EVERYTHING!!!  They are driving me mad.       I have netted the raised beds and the strawberry's are in the mini greenhouse. But what do I do with my vegetables in pots? I cant put them all in the greenhouse.

Have to confess to shooting ours. We were overrun and they were killing shrubs and eating all our bird food. Haven't seen one for atleast a week now.

We use a rabbit trap as the blighters never go in a squirrel trap!  They are then dispatched and donated to a friend's ferrets.
