They're lucky they're cute.. Darn squirrels, just found they been
munching on my new riding mower seat.. Luckily it's the molded foam kind
so beyond making it look bad it's an easy fix with a light coat of silicon.
Darn things, took chunks out.. *mutters*
hurmpf!
They are gathering nesting material so if you provide them with it
they will usually leave things alone. I put out cotton batting,
Spanish moss, shredded sheets I no longer use, and all I have to do is
look up and I see their nests full of it.
That's a good idea.. I'll see what I can dig up for them..
One year the squirrels tore apart the cushion on my swing thing and it
was so funny to watch her do it! I never replaced the cushion yet, so
I leave it out for her to tear up every winter!
To my knowledge, squirrels don't tear up wire, raccoons do, but there
is always a first. I also buy pipe insulation tubes for the squirrels
and they love to put those up in the trees in hunks.
