They don't seem to cause irreparable damage to anything. But the squirrels are monsters! 8 foot high chain ink does not keep them out of the blackberries or blueberries and when I see them on the bird feeders I send the dogs out immediately.

Rabbits make my blood pressure spike, every year! We have a rabbit den in our yard (although I don't have the heart to smoke it out). But this year, the chipmunks have truly tried my patience. I no longer think they're cute either. Again, thanks for the humor--it helps. ;-)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7582305140985096454.post-79055593182284045592012-07-18T20:48:10.491-04:002012-07-18T20:48:10.491-04:00I had to read this to my husband so we could both ...I had to read this to my husband so we could both roar as we used to battle the behemoth squirrels in our old neighborhood...so similar so I do understand your frustration...now it is the deer or the weather as the sunflowers didn't have enough water and the blueberries have browned and shriveled due to drought...I got a few blueberries and one sunflower volunteer..Donna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7582305140985096454.post-31382946219776959722012-07-18T17:20:16.062-04:002012-07-18T17:20:16.062-04:00This post is sad but sooo funny!!

I think Carolyn might be on to a great idea. My squirrels have an endless supply of food in my feeders and usually, but not always, leave my plants alone. They park their furry little butts in my platform feeder and gorge themselves. It's reverse logic but it might just work. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7582305140985096454.post-70759369504469408032012-07-18T14:33:29.212-04:002012-07-18T14:33:29.212-04:00We have deterred squirrels from bothering our bird...We have deterred squirrels from bothering our birdfeeders by sprinkling ground corn on the ground for them to eat.

Whiskers was as smart as any dog and would have made a fine pet were it not for his innate wildness. He was extremely cute and had a loving disposition. He liked to lay in my husbands lap and have his belly scratched! As he approached adulthood I introduced him to his natural habitat, and when he was ready, he returned to the wild. My gripe against squirrels in general is that they won't take a little and leave the rest. They want it all for themselves!debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7582305140985096454.post-5327405510375866222012-07-17T13:18:23.080-04:002012-07-17T13:18:23.080-04:00OMG...they really are the biggest pest sometimes, ...OMG...they really are the biggest pest sometimes, aren't they?!?
