Squirrels are lovely little animals in the nature, but we often find them irritating in our garden. They love to dig up your lawn, flower beds, plants and seeds, destroy all your fruits and smash your bird feeder. How to get rid of Squirrels immediately when you can’t tolerate them anymore?

Well, here we have found the solution for you! But, some solution is not too pleasant please bare with it.

Burning Sensation
Using dried peppermint, peppermint oil, cayenne powder or hot chili pepper can cause burning sensation to squirrels but no physical injury. Sprinkler them along the perimeter of your plant or spray them on any food they like. This method maybe a little troublesome, because that you need to reapply it each time after raining.

Pellet Gun
Get a pellet gun together with some premium pellets. All you have to do is by spending a week or two guarding at the window. Once you see any squirrel in your shooting range. FIRE! Clean and sweet technique.

Cat
Consider getting yourself a cat and allowed it to stay outdoor. Cat by natural are good hunter, they can help keeping squirrels out of your garden. However do take note that, cats not only hunt down squirrels, they prey on birds too. You may want to reconsider this option. I feel it’s kind of irresponsible.

Live Traps
Havahart traps work well, trying using apple slice with peanut butter as bait. Catch them alive and relocate them. If you dun want to kill them, this may be the best solution.

Rat Zapper
A straight forward trap. Trap, dead and throw. Clean and efficient no handling of carcasses.

Plant Garlic
By planting garlic and sprinkled garlic powder along side with your seeds. Squirrels just hate the smelling of garlic. This method helps to keep squirrels away from your seeds.

Feed them
Feed squirrels with sunflower seed together with a big dish of water at the other side of your garden. They wouldn’t border you after that. This may not be the correct way, but it works to some extend.

Rat Snake
You can consider a rat snake to get rid of squirrels and at the same time keep it as a pet. Be sure that none of your family members are afraid of reptiles. Rat snake is only large enough to eat squirrel and not a threat to human or dog.

Try to avoid killing if possible. Living in harmony with our surrounding animals makes this world a better place.
