OMgosh!!! YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!I made the mistake of raising a baby squirrel. He was so tiny and would join me at or more likely ON my deck table. I would have coffee or tea in the mornings and he would just sit at the opposite end of the table and eat his seed which I supplied. And then one day I noticed 3 of my light bulbs and been chewed COMPLETELY OFF the deck light line. And began to notice my new deck had chew marks on it. I thought to myself ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!? How can it be that I am supplying food and you're EATTING MY DECK and bulbs from the deck lighting. Well I tried all kinds of store bought stuff and the only thing I found to work was FOX PEE!!! And yes it stinks but it did work. NOW that I have found your recipe I will give it a try!! Here is hoping!! We just had a crazy hard rain so I will be spraying this on my deck, surrounding yard and bird feeders. I will also let you know if it works as a deer repellent as well! STAY STRONG PEOPLE, STAY STRONG!!!

This was great and it gave me some good laughs. So glad no squirrels were harmed during this blog post. I love the chipmunks but the squirrels are small furry monsters and way too smart (for me anyway)

I have tried a concoction of apple cider vinegar, soap hot sauce and cayenne to deter our neighborhood squirrels and it didn't even faze them. I have seen the recipes for peanut butter and plaster of paris but supposedly that would kill them and I want none of that. They are part of the menagerie of urban wildlife we feed but while we have no edible vegetation, the only time they are troublesome, like a two year old kid who has learned how to manipulate his parents, is when the squirrel feeder is empty. The way they get our attention is to start gnawing away on a wall sculpture hanging on our fence. The irony is the sculpture is made of plaster. Go figure. I am now wondering if there isnt some kind of clear coat or sealer that would deter them.

The best way to get rid of rats is to feed them: plaster of paris mixed with sugar and/or peanut butter powder. Place in feeding locations the rats use. I seriously fought big, underground-type rats when I lived in Seattle. They love to build their cities under buildings and concrete slabs like patios.

The sudden large population of chipmunks and the few older squirrels around our country property have caused over $3,000 damage to my truck and almost the same to my CRV. They love chewing the wires.

I tried it on my bird feeder pole , the squirrel still climbed up the metal pole, sat on a-branch I had sprayed, stretched way over to the feeder, which I sprayed, with his front paws, tipped it sideways as usual! So, it didn’t work for me.

In reply to Disgusted. To 'Disgusted' I would suggest you read Pam's comment again, she was not actually advising readers to kill. So re-read and try to understand it was a joke. Everyone else can clearly see it was meant in jest. You overrighteous people take thing far too literally sometimes and just make yourself look stupid! life is far too short, don't waste it being angry at everyone and everything. Calm down and go give your squirrel some love :)
