Mornin'. I hope you solve your squirrel problem. We have more of a proablem with the California scrub jays. They sometimes get to the tomatoes before I can get them off the vines. They are loud and aggressive. Then there are the pigeons. Don't get me started on the pigeons...
My husband woke me up this morning at 6:15, and for once, I'm glad he did. I was having a bizarre dream. In my dream, I had opened up the bottom drawer of my dresser where I had sweaters, and several mice jumped out. One of the cats, Baby, took off after them. I was P.O.'d and trying to clean up the mess, and heading out to buy D-Con. (I've heard D-Con works on pigeons, but we have too many desirable birds around here, like the California Quail). I really don't understand that dream, because I've never lived anywhere where I had mice in the house. Having house cats probably helps.
Glad to hear about the Squirrel Away. I should probably get some for my gardens if it keeps the chipmunks away.. Those little suckers dig holes everywhere. I don't have any problems with the squirrels and the bird feeders. Two of mine are on long poles, and the big open feeder has a squirrel guard.
Oh.. another thing.. you're not supposed to feed birds in the summer time.. Yeah I know.... I do too. I love to see the odd plants they bring in every year. This last year I think they brought in Goldenrod tho..:( Here I was, thanking the boids and it looks like it's going to be a nice big patch of sneeze stuff.. That's all I need.
I lost one of my feeders last year and one of my houses..and quite a few plants and bushes.
We need some good cold snowy winters. (while we're in FL.) heh heh heh...
