I totally agree with Kandy. I spinkle red pepper power in my pots. They look cool and keep the tree rats away. I just hope it is not damaging my plants.

Sprinkle cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes, replace after rain, that will keep them away.

Tree squirrels in San Bernardino mountains are eating our deck and a wood playset we have purchased for Grandchildren. They are a menace. They fear nothing! Wish I would of known the deck and playset were squirrel food, I would of payed less for them. They say when you hate the squirrels its time to move off the mountain…..time to go!!

I came home one day to find a squirrel pulling a tomato off one of my plants, then he ran off with it in his mouth. We’re not talking about a grape or cherry tomato, but one of the gargantuan beefsteak variety. It was quite a sight.

Mostly the squirrels run from rooftop to tree to deck railing to tree to roof, etc. So yeh… I saw the squirrel carrying it while doing all that.

once last year i went out the door and in the flower box was almost an entire slice of pizza. when i got home, it was gone. 3 days later i saw a squirrel running with another huge piece of pizza in it’s tiny jaw. i dont know where it was coming from.

miniature electric fences… at an old apt. I had a squirrel actually chew through my screen window and steal a whole stick of butter.
That squirrel knew exactly what to steal from me to hurt me the most… sniff

I thought the squirrels only liked daisies, but from your stories I see that they love to eat anything. It’s strange because we have marigolds, dahlias, basil, rosemary, hydrangea, and a few other plants on our deck and they only go for the daisies. On our back fire escape by the kitchen we have 5 different herbs and the squirrels don’t touch that either.
