How do I keep those *#$!@#ing ground squirrels from eating my sunflowers?
Don't get me wrong, I think ground squirrels are really cute, but
tearing my sunflowers apart, and damaging the stalk with their weight. How can I keep them off of my sunflowers? Thanks, Adam |

Thanks, Adam How does one keep flies off shit? Ben off Jennifer? Jimmy Carter off peanuts? Bees off beebalm? Growing sunflowers in the presence of squirrels is like filling the dogfood dish with quality kibble then griping because the dog ate it. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" See the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com/ |

The neighbor's cat thinks they're tasty. tearing my sunflowers apart, and damaging the stalk with their weight. How can I keep them off of my sunflowers? Don't plant sunflowers. Perhaps safflowers will be more to your liking, and less to the squirrels. Dan |

Don't get me wrong, I think ground squirrels are really cute, but
tearing my sunflowers apart, and damaging the stalk with their weight. How can I keep them off of my sunflowers? The short answer -- you don't. The squirrels have the advantage as sunflowers grow tall. If you put them in the center of a field, surrounded with electric fence, a perimeter alarm hooked up to lasers, and pressure sensitive mines they will STILL find a way to pop the head off JUST before you do. The best answer is to just plant more. You can try putting down bloodmeal or other repellants but they'll be on the ground -- if you're like most folks you probably have trees nearby, or a wall, or something else they can climb so....
