While perusing thru the forums I read about making a repelant for squirrels and racoons but can't find it again. Heeeeelllllpppp!
It would most likely be in either the Pests and Diseases or Wildlife forums, have you check those yet?
Try these Lurch: Squirrel issues in the yard.. Those squirrels! - Keeping squirrels out of your birdfeeders
When Tom was living in New York he had a lot of trouble with groundhogs. I sent him this article from a wildlife magazine that said to empty kitty litter boxes around the edges of your garden and if you found the holes of groundhogs dump it down the hole. I guess squirrels and raccoons don't have holes. I don't know if it works for them or not or if you have cats. Dooley
i have cats,i was hoping they'd keep the squirrels down,only rabbits! as far as coons,electric fence helps to keep them out of the garden!
We live way out in the country and I have to see a squirrel yet in our yard.My husband has alot of cats,he says they keep the snakes away.I guess its true cause I have not seen any of those either.We do did have possums and coons come up and eat the cat food but have not seen any lately
I've never heard about cat litter in ground hog holes Dooley. We have tons of them at work and one has made a hole in my herb garden. Did it work?
Just an update... I poured some kitty litter in a groundhog hole last week and checked on it yesterday. There has been no activity around it since! I guess Mr Groundhog has moved on! Thanks for the great tip Dooley!
