I've been waiting all season for red tomatoes.
Now that I finally have them, the Squirrels are eating them while
they're still on the plants.

Some clown posted about some fake ultrasonic device that doesn't
really work in another ng.

Does anyone have any real advice about how to stop the squirrels??

thanks!


The only thing that I found works with garden pests is a shotgun - I
prefer
a 16 guage, but a 12 or 20 should work as well.

BTW, I didn't realize squirells went for tomatoes. We have tomatoes and
we
have squirrels - they ravage our nut trees but I never see them by the
tomatoes.
Maybe you should try planting a nut tree.

The 12 gauge works well with the little pest, but the neighbors complain
about the noise, the other option is to buy nice tomatoes from your local
produce store, I found that last option to be a lot easier one.
