Squirrel Deterrence

So a rat is eating and the squirrels are digging? Swell.
I won't put out poison. I guess I could trap for the rat, but there's potential for collateral damage. Then again, if something else is eating the foliage I maybe don't mind.

With technology as cheap as it is, maybe a bulb cam is in order.
Thanks again, everyone.

Well, I know everyone on this list is having a proper socially distanced, quiet Christmas because we all have time to discuss squirrel depredations!  I haven’t had much trouble with them here in Portland even though I keep the door to my greenhouse open. They will dig a bit in pots outside, however.  I know we have rats around here (scared one in the compost bin) but so far they haven’t developed a taste for bulbs.  Knock on wood.

If anyone is having trouble with the bushy tailed rats cleaning out their bird feeders I can heartily recommend the Squirrel Buster hanging feeders.  I’ve had them for years and the squirrels have not managed to best them yet.
