So the 'pool noodle' tactic was effective..for obvious reasons. And now I need to resort to further resources to get rid of the squirrels. Its not just because they empty the bird feeder onto the ground, eat all the bird seed, scare away the birds, climb all over the birdhouse and eat the flowers and trees in the garden that I want to eradicate the squirrels. No...its not just those things...
It must be because they look like rodents and they also leave their mark on our pool cover and stamp through the garden. Try as I might I cannot think of a good reason why squirrels even exist. I wonder how many hours people devote to researching how to get rid of these creatures.
My investigation of this issue turned up a potential solution in pepper. Not knowing how expensive black pepper actually is I took the large container we had (that normally refills the table shaker) and put it everywhere. By that I mean I walked the entire yard and shook it on the trees, grass, bird feeder, birdhouse, garden...you name it I covered it in pepper.
The squirrels were back the next day. Why didn't this work?
