How can I stop squirrels from digging in my flower pots?
The best way to deter them may be to put out a seed mix that will keep them occupied; most places that sell wild bird feed will also sell a “squirrel and jay” mix made of nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, etc. It can be worth it to keep squirrels out of your flowers 🙂 You might also try putting predator-scent in the area; I use bobcat-urine spray in storage areas to dissuade mice and chipmunks from hanging around. You can get it at most places that sell hunting supplies (hunters use it to ATTRACT bobcats). It smells REALLY rank at first, so be ready to leave immediately after spraying it. After it dries, you won’t be able to smell it, but your little unwelcome visitors will.
