A fence will not keep a squirrel away from your garden.


A big Labrador dog will keep them out but that would be even more trouble.

You've just got to learn to live with them.





Or you can try to create an extra enticing mulchy area in some corner and put some food in that area. It might encourage them to use the other spot.

get a cat


or a wild animal urine from the feed store will deter them
