BIG Squirrel problems
DAFrom: "Daniel" dcxdan AT yahoo DOT com
DAHi, DA I am having some BIG squirrel problems with those guys digging in my plant DAcontainers. I also think they are multiplying like rabbits, so there are lot DAof them. I have tried using Cayenne pepper, but it seems they just love th DAstuff, since the container soil gets churned up all over. Maybe I am not us DAthe right brand? What next? mini land mines - just kidding :-) Thanks, DADan Google for some coyote urin. Placed at the four courners (and maybe the the mid-points if your area is lard enough 8-( will remind them of their natural enemy and send them off to forage in your neighbors. Ciao, Ack --- # SLMR 2.1a # Windows;as frustrating as marriage but alternative is ?-( * Origin: BBS Networks @ www.bbsnets.com [8010] (8:8/62) |

Maybe I'll try that coyote urine thing too! I have similar problems
with squirrels eating the tops off my new plants. Also later in the season, they like to eat (or take bites out of) my tomatoes, squash, and even the hot peppers. I've tried a variety of "nice" and "not-so-nice" approaches, but nothing has worked so far. I put chicken wire down to keep the cats (including my own) from digging up my newly planted rows, but the squirrels don't seem to mind crawling over the wire to chomp on my veggies. It's looking like, since I'd get arrested for firing a shotgun in the neighborhood, my alternatives are boiling down to live traps and free rides down the road for the little %$#@!s. Gary |

She claims it keeps the squirrels, possums and coons out of their small veggie garden. Kitty |

Thanks, Kitty -
That sounds easier than going shopping for coyote pee! Gary |
