I have been fighting squirrels all spring. Tomorrow a king size version
goes up, and we'll see how the squirrels do. Going to get two more for

Will keep you posted.

Simple cheap solution: procure one barn cat.


We have a stray neighborhood cat with one eye. He got into a fight
with a squirrel. The hawks prefer snakes over squirrels, but
thankfully squirrels are fairly easy to trap. A small price to have
two full grown hickory trees.
