Basically you wanna use a granular form of castor oil, starting closest to your property, house, etc... and gradually working themn away from your property. Hey, everything I've heard from him has always worked best.

Answer 2

to keep squirrels from getting to your bulbs. plant the bulbs cover with 2 inches of soil place chicken wire over the soil cover with the rest of the soil plants will grow thru the wire but the squirrels can't get to the bulbs

Answer 3

Squirt some Aquafresh toothpaste into an empty spray-bottle. It absolutely MUST be Aquafresh. Anything else won't work, trust me. When the squirrels least expect it, attack them with it!

Answer 4

Try Home Depot, they have chemical deterrents

Answer 5

I do know from experience that squirrels hate duct tape. Not sure if that would give you any help...but I thought you should know.

Good luck :)

Answer 7

Put out some beer,maybe they will drink it and hit thier head on a stoplight

Answer 8

put mothballs in cheese cloth and put it in the ground pretty deep and it will keep them away, if you dont put the mothballs down deep enough they will eat them and die, which may not be a bad thing lmao lmao lmao

Answer 9

get some moth balls and spread around you flower beds, or where ever you don't want the little critters.
