fake owls and pie pans hung up so they blow in the breeze
I just bought a fake owl to put in my garden. But I did it mainly because I don't want the birds to get my tomatoes. If you are having problems with squirrels and other small animals, I recommend spreading shredded Irish Spring bar soap in your garden. You can shred them on a box grater or even a food processor. Animals hate the smell of the soap. Hope this helps you. Good luck.
