we left the new "yellow pages" out and the squirrels started gathering that too... as
long as they stay out of our house, out of my flower beds, leave my fruit alone. but
they wont I am sure. Ingrid


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.
