Motion detector sprinkler. Also useful for deer, cats, and many dogs.

This is a tough one. It is that time of year when the squirrels are caching their winter food. They probably find the sod easier to deal with than burying nuts elsewhere. My suggestion is that if you have nut trees, particularly oak, rake up the nuts and get rid of them. Also search your sod and see if that is what they are doing. If they are storing food in the sod, take it up and throw it away. I also find that the smell of garlic repels squirrels. I grow garlic everywhere...in my flower beds, vegetable, garden, etc. If you dont want garlic in your sod, make a spray of garlic powder mixed with cayenne pepper and water. Spray your yard with this natural mixture. It will not hurt the sod and the squirels may well go away.

Try spreading blood meal. Gardeners have used this since time immemorial as a natural fertilizer. Small digging animals like squirrels instinctively recognize "their own kind," and they stay away. Blood meal is inexpensive. Nourishes the grass. Doesn't dissolve in the rain. (Especially effective in flower pots too.)
Other gardeners say bone meal works just as well.

I have a problem with them in my flower pots if I don't keep them well watered too.Water it, they are digging up bugs or burying nuts but will not mess in the mud.

The sod will fill back in, don't worry about it.
