# Does anyone have any tips on keeping squirrels out of your flowers?…

Does anyone have any tips on keeping squirrels out of your flowers? I’ve already tried sprinkling cayenne pepper in my plants, Irish spring soap pieces in them and around them. I’m NOT wanting to hurt the squirrels 🐿️ but I do want an effective way to keep them out and away from my plants :) lol I am desperate, I will take any advice I can get :) (we have a bird feeder and are scared that a fake owl is going to scare the birds off)

Are the bird feeders hanging over your plants or further away. If they are near your plants it is going to be almost impossible to keep them away.

A little bit away from our plants

Try repels all. It comes in spray and granules. It works great (I use it for deer and other creatures) you just have to reapply more often than the directions say
