This is the most popular choice amongst gardeners for repelling squirrels. It smells stronger than other types of vinegar and can be easily applied as it does not cause any damage when it is sprayed directly onto plants.

Hello For the best local professional advice you might wish to consider local advice by contacting your cooperative extension. These offices are manned by volunteer master gardeners on site there waiting to answer the communities questions that know your local situation quite well. Landscaping pests fall under their umbrella.
Master gardeners are required to volunteer back designated hours ( plus continuing education) each year to maintain MG certification -this community outreach and education is their goal.
