Q: Squirrel Protection?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Any suggestions for protecting a just planted winter garden from squirrels?

I just started a very small winter garden .. temporarily fenced it off from my chickens and deer … only to have SQUIRRELS gobble it up. They have a lot access points over/in/under the fence right now, and the area is too large to entirely fence off w/ smaller wire. I’m thinking of building some small 4×4 chicken wired boxes to keep them out. Any other simpler/less expensive suggestions out there?

Thanks a lot

Q: Squirrel Troubles

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Question from a PVFS Customer received by email and answered by our staff.

Question:

I have a terrible squirrel problem. They devour my avocados, apricots, grapes, and even citrus before I can get to one bite myself! Please help! I have looked in your catalog in past years, but wolf urine, etc. has been banned in California, and I’m desperate. What options does Peaceful Valley have for me.

Answer:

Hello!

We carry just a couple of products for squirrel control. One is the Havahart Trap, item PAT064 or PAT078. The other is the Sure Stop Squirrel Bait, item PAB300, which can be used with the Wilco Squirrel Bait Station, PAB405.

There are probably professional animal control companies in your area with natural or humane options, if it comes to that…

Good luck!
