Squirrels in the garden... We have red squirrels (small..just a little larger than a chipmunk) that will eat or wreck dozens of tomatoes. They will just sit on a tomato plant and gorge on a big beefsteak tomato until they have almost eaten their way right through the thing. The young ones are very bold and won't run away from me at all. I don't have to worry about them too much anymore because my neighbor's cat is such a good hunter that she keeps them away from the garden. However, I did have a lot of trouble for a couple of years. I invested in a good little Have-A-Heart trap and I use that any time that squirrels become a nuisance around here. It works well and you just about always catch the squirrels immediately. You just have to think of something good to attract them with. Fruit, nuts, peanut butter, etc... are all good. Then it's a nice drive to a release spot a couple of miles from here.... Bye bye squirrels...Gee... too bad the chickens don't like squirrels as much as they like hornworms, eh?... ;-}> Croc
