Default Re: Damn Squirrels!!!

Not much is more bitter than acorns and squirrels are giddy over those. No, I hold very little faith in these folk-remedies and sprays and stuff that do little more than seperate you from your money. Too many of them have been reviewed and proven ineffective to the point that, it's almost fraudulent that they're being sold! And even if you luck out and find one that works - it will only work *some* of the time, if at all. If a squirrel or deer is hungry enough, they will brave and tolerate some very extreme stuff to get that nice tasty morsel! Here in the drought, I've had deer come up to a few feet of our door to nibble on our very well watered peach tree even tho we were right there! And these are not tame animals. So, I wouldn't bet the bank, or nanners, on sprays and hair and pee and stuff that I've seen recommended in various forums.

Be well,
Mike

You know, the stuff you use to stop pets from chewing your house up.

Phooey is very bitter, I would try it. Ask your pet store if they carry it.
