OT(?): Squirrels And Ultrasonics
Hi, Firstly, let me apologise if this is off-topic in uk.rec.gardening. I've seen some similar posts in the google archive, so hopefully I'll not be needing any flame-proof clothing. I have a bit of a problem with grey squirrels. There's lots of them nearby here, and I'd like to keep them out of the garden and away from the birdfeeders and decking. First attempt to keep away the squirrels was a pepper-based spray which is supposed to keep away squirrels, but not affect birds. It affected neither the birds, nor the squirrels. Second attempt was a PestBan ultrasonic repeller. The instructions said that squirells would best be dealt with by setting the device to a low frequency (and that this would take care of rats and mice, also). Still, the squirells came, and so we turned the volume output up, and tried other frequency settings. This was not effective, and Pestban have said to return the unit to them. I have read in archived posts that moth-balls are supposed to be very good at keeping squirrels away, but I'm not overly-keen on putting poisons all around the garden. Has anyone here found any great ways of evicting squirrels? Any tips or advice? Thanks, E../ |
