Tags: Pest, Control, Tips, Help, House, Yard, Garden, Home, Squirrells, Animals

These are some simple pest control tips to keep your home and garden squirrel-free.

  •  
  • Squirrels do not like the smell of moth balls. Simply place mothballs in stragetic locations around the outer area of your home, and that will keep them away.
  •  
  • Squirrels don't like safflower seed but birds do.
  •  
  • Squirrels dislike cayenne pepper.
  •  
  • Keep them out of my chimmney by putting a wire chimmney cap on top of the chimmney
  •  
  • Buy a live trap and use salted peanuts as bait. Once caught, take a nice drive and release at least 10 miles away, preferablly across a natural boundary like a major higway, river, etc.
  •  
  • For birdfeeders, smear the pole with vaseline so they can't climb up it, or mix in cayenne pepper with the birdseed - birds can't taste it but squirrels hate it.
  •  
  • To keep squirrels off bird feeder, use cake of suet to coat feeder's roof and hanger.
  •  
  • Give them a place to feed far away from the house
  •  
  • Put some cobs of corn on a wooden stake in the ground near the base of a tree. As long as food is so easy to get to, they leave the birdfeeders alone.
  •  
  • Put hot sauce around the garbage bins.
