Where we live we had squirrels all the time everywhere on our property, so I started buying bags of potatoes every couple of weeks and thrownig them over the back fence into the gulley. I've been doing this for a couple of months now. Within the first week it seemed like the squirrels were not coming around so much. Now I don't even hear them chirping down in the gulley. I would be interested if anybody else has had an experience like this? It's wierd that they would just stop coming around.
