I know my enemy, and his name is Squirrel


I'm with Carrie Bradshaw on this one, she states that Squirrels are simply rats with cuter outfits...and while I would never harm an animal in the garden, I do have to figure out ways to encourage them to spend time elsewhere.

I have a bird feeder that isn't squirrel proof and I have a tasty vegetable garden....the temptations for the little buggers is too great and it is having an effect on the amount of bird food I have to buy and they have damaged some vegetable plants.

First, I am going to get a squirrel proof feeder very soon and I have to come up with a more effective reppellent, the garlic oil works a little, but not enough to drive them off....any suggestions?

Happy Gardening!
