Each day, it digs up the flowers, my mom fixes them up, and same thing happens the next day. If I knew when the squirrel comes to the garden each day, I would probably wait outside for it with a baseball bat and kill it. That's not an option though.
How can we get rid of the squirrel? Any suggestions or similar problems?

Have her sprinkle bone meal around the base of her plants. Squirrels hate the taste of bone meal and they will stop digging. You can find it in any garden center and it has the extra bonus of promoting root growth in plants as well!

Snakes are organic predators of squirrels and would scare them remote from the flower mattress. Use basically somewhat backyard hose or something that would fool the squirrels to think of there's a snake interior the plant existence.

Build a little, chicken wire cage and place it where you don't want the squirrels to come.
You can use scrap wood or even pvc pipes to make a simple, square box to protect the flowers. When they're older, the squirrels will be elsewhere pestering another neighbor instead

Well if you're religious, maybe you should share with God's animals the blessings of the land that God gives you, too. Might I suggest you appropriate a spot for the squirrel(s) that they will really enjoy to keep them out of your Mother's garden? I mean, sure, do what it takes to keep them out of the garden, but give them something else in return. Otherwise, God might curse your garden!!!

thre are products at the garden centers for repelling rabbits and squirrels. i have heard people say if you get human hair cuttings from a hair salon and spread it around it will work too. personally i find that a bit gross so i would opt for the garden center. hope someone else has a better answer for you because i really hate it when critters mess up my garden.

well would I mostly have is a dog(s) around so the wont get in the backyard or provide special foods for them that hang around the trees so instead of digging up for nuts he will probly change its mind for the special food
