Hello Everyone,
The other day Pam wrote in: I have squirrels digging in my
flower pots. I've tried cayenne pepper mixed in with the
dirt, pepper seeds mixed in with the dirt, pepper spray on
the plants, chili powder and cayenne and pepper seeds on
top of the dirt. They still dig in my pots. Does anyone
have a fool proof way to keep the squirrels out of my flower
pots?
Many readers suggested using Moth Balls, lay them around
the pots.
More suggestions are below....

FLYING ALARM CLOCK
Fun AND Effective...
Normal Price: $29.99

Trouble getting up in the mornings? This will do the trick! When
the alarm sounds, the propeller is launched up into the air &
flies around the room.
To turn off the alarm you'll have to get up, find it & return it
to the base. This digital alarm clock has a large easy to read
backlit display. It also has an easy to set snooze function.
Visit Here to see a video of it in action!

Keith suggests...Try spraying Fooey on the plants its an
EXTREMLY nasty spray that tastes really bad (yes I tasted
it) dog training aid its in a white bottle with seventies
looking artwork on it I know petco has it and I am sure
Petsmart does to the stuff is sooooooo nasty but it wont
hurt them.
Millie suggests...I know it works with deer's. I was told
& it works to get some dried blood ( its a fertilizer) &
either sprinkle it dry or mix it with water. If it rain's
hard you have to re-apply.
Mary suggests...You can go to any home store like Home
Depot and get some carpet tack strips. Secure them to
your planter and they will stop for obvious reasons.
Seems cruel but it isn’t. They are anything but dumb and
after realizing they can’t remove them they will dig some
place more friendly.

Another reader suggests...Great tip I picked up and sure
works for me is to sprinkle a bit of Baby Powder around your
plants. The squirrels hate the stuff!
Ruth suggests...plant Marigolds around the borders as well
as a few in between. Squirrel's hate them. We did that when
we were living in Burnsville, North Carolina. Hope this helps.
Charlee says...Pam might try covering the pots with hardware
cloth or other fine metal mesh. Cut to size, about an inch
below the top of the soil, place and cover. If needed cut a
small hole with wire cutters for the plant. Barring that,
send the squirrels to me! I love them and there aren't many
in my area!
:-)
