So, I was pretty convinced there were raccoons in my plants.
Until this morning when I opened the front door and saw two squirrels pulling on the bird feeder post. They had it bent clear to the ground and were eating the seeds.
I got mad! I told them I hated them, and never to come back; then I shook my fist at them. Mostly because one of them was digging in a flower pot that was barely beginning to sprout. They had better not have destroyed our flowers.
I went to Farm King and found squirrel repellent. When I pulled back into the drive, there was another squirrel digging at the base of the post. I will have to re-dig and re-place the post.
The repellent is a wolf or fox urine based product, 100% organic, and stinks! It won’t (shouldn’t) scare the birds away, and ought to not harm my produce. I hope it works!!!
I should go get some of that stuff for our shrub. We have a squirrel or two that digs in that (as well as the whole entire yard). It drives us insane.
Oh and your shaking your fist at them kind of made me chuckle.
Your fist shaking made me think of Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Mennace.
