Squirrels and Chipmunks, Go Away! Really!

After being struck with an acute, incurable case of spring fever, I went out in the backyard earlier today seeking relief from the symptoms of it. I took a look around the raised beds and I saw these holes in the garlic raised beds that were made by our "resident" squirrels.

Looks like the squirrels created these round little nests, but luckily didn't bother with the garlic bulbs. I read online that squirrels don't like garlic, but my boys don't seem to mind it. Perhaps if I made little squirrel garlic sandwiches and left near the beds they would get the news.

Next year I will replace the chicken wire with one that has much smaller holes. The one I have now is about 1.5" wide and squirrels get through it. I will buy something much smaller in diameter and show them who's the boss.

GO AWAY SQUIRRELS!!!
