[QUOTE=Although it could also be that the don't like the garlic I planted in the same containers as the tomatoes![/QUOTE]

I too am being attacked by hordes of squirrels but when you mentioned that they may not like garlic planted next to your tomatoes it rang a bell with me. In 3 out of 4 pots(tubs) of tomato plantings 1 wasn't touched. It was the one that I had planted garlic around the edges of the pot. Ummmmm...maybe there is something to it.

Also even though pellet guns are not permitted BB guns are. Now I don't try to mame them...I just shoot at their tail and watch them jump 10' in the air. Now when they are in my feeder all I have to do is ★★★★ the gun and they scatter most rapidly.
