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)

I always recommend a combination of blood meal and coyote urine to my clients! Maybe that’ll help?

I really need to know … where does one procure coyote urine?

#### 9s replied on 2024-06-29

Hahahaha!!! You can purchase it at a lot of garden centers believe it or not! 🙈

Or any type of hunting/bait shops 🤷‍♀️
