Squirrels Eating My Tomatoes!
HI Mark,
You can buy dried blood at HD or Lowes in the garden/soil additives section. It's fairly cheap. Dried blood is high in nitrogen and is often used to green up plants. I did not need to use much blood to deter the squirrels in our yard. I wouldn't over use the dried blood, or your tomatoes will stop producing fruit from too much nitrogen. But, it shouldn't hurt to sprinkle a few tablespoons around the plants. Good luck!

Google searching has uncovered these suggestions; - Spread moth balls around the garden (toxic active ingredient?) - Rat poison (way too dangerous to pets) - Plastic owl/snakes (seems like the rodents would catch on pretty quickly) - Christmas Tree ornaments - Spray pepper sauce on the fruits Just wondering if folks here have any methods that they are happy with. Thanks much! |
