Squirrel is destroying cukes
I have a pesky squirrel that figured out how to get into my protected
garden. The garden has a chicken wire fence with two electric wires (one 6" and the other 15" from the ground). He jumps over the wires and digs up the young cucumber sprouts, then manages to leave the garden without getting shocked. I have a .22 air rifle (legal here in the city limits although it might be hard to get an accurate shot at a distance), but last night I set a Hav-A-Hart trap baited with peanut butter graham cracker. The squirrel is not touching the beets, carrots, radishes, tomatoes, peppers or zucchini. He makes daily 8 AM rounds. Any other ideas? |
