Squirrels again

[b54red]

Well finally the squirrels have quit gnawing on my tomatoes. I went out this morning to check and not a single one has had a bite taken out of it in two days. The row of broccoli I set out 3 days ago is only a memory. They ate it down to the ground. I guess now that the broccoli is gone they will resume their tomato munching. I'm going to have to get serious with the bb gun again this fall.

Why don't you try live trapping them and relocating them first? Killing one of gods creatures will come back to bite you in the butt down the road I have a couple of possums that I feed most nights.....they are harmless and do zero damage to my property + they are good for the environment as they eat everything except peppers...... even rotten tomatoes.

I can feel your pain. We have a huge squirrel population in Cincinnati. We aren't allowed to kill them. All we can do is live trap them and relocate them to the countryside (can't even relocate them to a city park or we get fined). I have to build a fence around my tomato plants out of bird netting to keep the squirrels out. It is a pain in the rear, but it is the only way I can salvage a tomato crop.

squirrel the other white meat, if I find them in the garden, I find them in the frying pan.I have no score to settle with the rabbit that lived in my bean patch all summer.

Give squirrels no quarter. If you feed them ONCE, they will interpret that as an open invitation to everything you own! They can be extremely damaging in their foraging.

How I wish I could adopt your squirrels, B54red.

Do you want to adopt them alive or fried, perhaps fedex froze c.o.d.

stop relocating your pests to the country. we have enough squirrels here, we don't need yours too. how would you feel if we brought our squirrels to your neighborhood to infest your garden? if you can't kill them then leave them to eat your garden not mine.

Relax my friend.......I have a thousand squirrels here in the downtown city where I live. Please don't take things the wrong way Have a great night my friend

The squirrels here like to stash spare seeds that they
do not need to eat right now in the lawn beside this
100 year old fir tree. Then they come back and search
for them weeks or months later when they are hungry.
When I mow I find bell beans, vetch, oats, rye, and whatever
was in the bird feeder this year growing.

Squirrel is some good eating.
