No. Feeding them doesn't help. It just attracts more. Moth balls
don't work, so now I will try hot pepper. Of course I have no red
tomatoes left to get ripe, and three of my plants are dead. But I did
live trap and relocate 4 of the critters per state rep. guidance.
Worked really well. The rats love apples better than tomatoes. Boy,
are they sure mean and nasty, and they stink...!!!!!!
Thanks.

It worked as long as the squirrel feeder contained goodies. When it got
empty, they were at the bird feeder. Might work around your gardens also.

Squirrels attacking my tomatoes. Even eating the green ones. Tried
mothballs. Yeah right. Trapped and released one. Two more showed up
this am. any ideas ASAP. I haven't had a ripe tomato in a week and I've
got 15 plants.
