What is the best deterrent for squirrels to keep them from eating my garden .... veggies and flowers ?

Are you sure you're talking about squirrels? or maybe you mean groundhogs.


squirrels are not generally associated with eating veggies and flowers, they'll destroy and apple to get at the seeds inside, and eat birdseed but not veggies or flowers.


Anyway, just in case you have some squirrels with strange eating habits, try placing some seeds or peanuts around, or ears of corn, i'm sure they'll prefer that to any known flower.

A huge hopper full of Squirrel food! Otherwise traps and such are in order.
Reply:they have things that you put in the ground that keep deer and groundhogs away but i hear they keep squirrels away too, or you could put out a sprinkler near it, problem solved.
Reply:LOL, that it is so funny that you've asked that because I have been dealing with that problem as well.


I planted several bulbs in the last few weeks only to find squirrels happily eating away at them!


I asked around and heard that moth balls work best! The smell of the balls deters the squirrels and other small animals.


And it won't harm your soil or flowers :D





Good luck!
Reply:We live in the country and feed the birds and squirrels sunflower seed. There are as many as twelve each of red squirrels and gray squirrels at our feeders. We have never had a problem with them getting into our garden. So get some squirrel feeders and keep them filled with sunflower seed.
Reply:"Moth balls" Just sprinkle a box over the garden area, the smell alone keeps them at bay, also keeps other animals away.
