There was a long discussion on gardenweb about squirrels eating new orinoco shoots. I will post the link so you can see that there are many alternatives of deterouring squirrels rather then BBs. I haven't had any trouble yet, but I'm sure its just a matter of tiime. I think the best solution is to introduce an alternative food source like peanuts. Peanuts would taste like filet mignon compared to banana shoots.
