Aha! But he’s staying out of the gardens. I think the Shake Away has been a success.
Today I went outside and saw that my diffenbachia plant, which I keep on the back step, was GONE. In its place in the pot, two large holes. Obvious digging from that bad boy squirrel. I had not applied Shake Away to any potted plants, and will probably get some lava rock tomorrow at the Home Depot. Supposedly lava rock as mulch on potted plants hurts their tender paws and they leave pots alone. We’ll see.
I did find the diffenbachia in the back yard, just lying there, root and all. So I’ve put it back in the pot and hope it does fine. A certain squirrel should thank his lucky stars I didn’t see him. I would have yelled.
