Squirrels are notorious for digging up freshly planted flower bulbs, chewing through tomato plants and stealing bird seed.
There are many ways to deter squirrels from your garden.

One of the most popular methods is using scarecrows, which can be purchased at any local hardware store or craft shop. Another option is to use dried blood spray in areas where you find evidence that they have been digging or feeding on vegetation.
If you don't want to invest in a full-fledged scarecrow but still want some protection, try installing an electric fence around your gardens!
A squirrel repellent is a great way to get rid of them. When choosing the right repellent, look for one that has been certified by the Environmental Protection Agency. You can also install fences or bird feeders in your yard.
Squirrels can be a nuisance in the garden.
It is important to know how to keep squirrels away from your plants and vegetables so that they don't eat everything before you get a chance to harvest it!
There are many ways to do this, but one of the most popular methods is using peppermint oil.
This natural repellent will make them stay away without hurting them.
I recommend that you get yourself one of those squirrel feeders. It will keep your garden safe from these pesky critters.
There are many ways to keep squirrels out of your garden.
However, some methods may be more effective than others depending on the type of plants you have in your garden.
For example, if you primarily grow vegetables or fruit trees, then a fence is probably one of the best options for keeping them away from those areas.
If you're growing flowers and herbs that they can't eat, then repellents such as pepper spray or noise deterrents will work well for deterring them from entering your yard.
Here's an idea. Make sure there is no food available for them, and place wire mesh around your garden to prevent any animals from entering.
I've always been a huge fan of gardening.
I love the feeling of being able to do something productive with my day, and it's really satisfying when you harvest your own vegetables or fruits from your garden.
But as much as I enjoy having a vegetable garden, it can be frustrating to deal with squirrels who dig up my plants and steal all of my seeds!
How do you keep squirrels out of your garden?
The question in the title of this blog post is one that many people might not think about.
What do squirrels hate? It's a difficult question to answer, but it's an important one to ask if you're considering bringing animals into your home or yard.
This is because some animals are more tolerant than others when it comes to living with humans and their property.
Squirrels, for example, can be territorial and aggressive when they feel threatened by encroaching humans - like say if you try to feed them outside of their territory (which I don't recommend).
So what do squirrels hate most?
Well, maybe they just want peace and quiet!
Have you ever heard the rumor that coffee grounds keep squirrels away?
Well, I'm here to tell you that it is a myth.
Yes, they do smell bad and can be an annoyance if left out in the open but squirrels just don't care! In fact, coffee grounds have been shown to attract them more than anything else.
They love to dig through them for leftover food particles and once they find one they will go back again and again.
So next time you think of using your stale old coffee grounds as a repellent for pesky rodents make sure to get rid of all traces or the problem will only get worse!
Do dryer sheets repel squirrels? I guess it would depend on the size of your dryer sheet.
The tiny, flat kind that you can buy in bulk at Costco are probably not going to do much once they're unfolded and put into your clothes drawer.
If you want something that's actually going to work (and absorb smells), then you'll need a bigger, fluffy type like Bounce or Downy. Oh, and don't forget to change them out every few months!
What do you use to get rid of squirrels? For some, this is a simple question with an easy answer.
A quick Google search will bring up dozens of remedies for exterminating the pesky rodents, but many people are unaware that there are natural ways to get rid of them too.
Squirrels can be dealt with by trying things like changing your landscaping or putting out dog food in areas where they typically hang out.
These methods work because raccoons and other animals will invade your yard before the squirrels do!
To deter squirrels from your garden, you will need to take a few different approaches.
One way is by using an electric fence and another is with the use of scarecrows or fake owls.
There are also repellents that can be sprayed on plants and other methods such as sprinkling cayenne pepper around the perimeter of your garden.
You may also want to consider installing wire mesh over any vulnerable spots in order to keep them out completely.
Do some research for yourself about which method might work best for your situation.
