I put up a squirrel feeder filled with corn mixed 50/50 with sunflower seeds
in plain view if what I was trying to keep them out of (the bird feeder).
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.

Go find some hot pepper powder and sprinkle the plants liberally with
it. Also, you might try feeding the squirrels something they will like
better.

Or, you can use a .410. ;-)
