# Does anyone know how to keep squirrels from eating your strawberries?…

_Posted by Succulent\_Mama13 on 2024-09-29_

Does anyone know how to keep squirrels from eating your strawberries? My grandma has a small garden in her backyard and the birds and squirrels eat most of the strawberries and she’s not a big fan of pesticides lol. I was talking about making a handmade chicken wire contraption but that would take a lot of time any ideas??

They sell bird netting that you can drape over the strawberry plants, or maybe even tack down with wooden stakes for the squirrels
