Squirrel deterrence - well add rat deterrence if you will. What makes me angry is how picky they are, choosing the really precious bulbs. I'm a firm believer in cats who hunt, but unless you have a walnut tree available for free nuts, they're just too expensive to share with squirrels. Moth balls are good for some situations as Arnold says, but make sure whatever you use doesn't harm dogs, cats, etc. I think most people like squirrels so deterrence is better than death. I love the Douglas Pine Squirrels we have here, mostly brown with nice orange bellies and they are quite small compared to silver grays and others. They also seem more fragile because of size. Surely there's a happy medium somewhere????
