How do i get rid of squirrels?
I had a squirrel in my yard, cute, but now he has a wife and 5 or 6 kids, tearing up my flower beds and garden boxes! Bought some repellent spray, didn't work, and can't seem to hit them with the BB gun. HELP

Squirrels and chipmunks tend to avoid bulbs which have been dipped in Thiram, before planting. Many gardeners plant bulbs in buried heavy mesh cages to deter these rodents. Kathy Gunter Law's advice re: cayenne pepper has also been helpful. Surrounding or interspersing bulb beds with garlic or chives may work for you.
