Betty, WHAT no squirrels. You lucky girl. We used to get so many squirrels and they were cute running around chasing each other, swinging like Tarzan on on Weeping Willow branches that hung low. The juveniles would do that, the adults hunted acorns. They were cute until they started digging in my daylily beds.
I had one that would come onto the porch that had been painted and he would eat the paint chips that were flaking up.
see the paint chip in his mouth
When there got to be probably 40-50 squirrels that were coming around digging in all the beds (front, side, back) I had to start thinning them out. They can get inside your car and chew the wires if they decide they want to use them for there nests and I sure didn't need that.
Oh I forgot to mention the chipmunks, wish I had a photo. I definitely had to get rid of those because they can multiply like rabbits and if they get under your house foundation and dig lots of tunnels it can mess it up. They had tunnels everywhere and would come on the porch and nibble on my potted flowers. I had some seedlings that I had potted up and sat near one of the daylily beds and the chipmunks would come nibble then down to a nub.
