They are eating up my garden. The other day as I walked across the yard a rabbit sat and starred me down until I got right up to him and let out a yell. Someone told me to sprinkle hair and they would smell human and stay away. So I did and I found a rabbit sitting right in the hair, eating my lettuce. Now Lowe's told me to sprinkle Blood Meal. Sounds gross but I tried it and I am waiting to see what happens. Dad built some noise makers (foil pie tins hanging from a stick) so now these are banging around in the garden. We'll see what happens. At this point I am wondering why I bother to plant a garden if I am just going to feed all the rabbits in Roanoke. I am convinced they all run for our backyard where they are protected by our fence. I think they like my all inclusive resort where they can eat as much as they want as often as they want. Anyway as you can tell I have been very frustrated also with the little varments! <br /><br />MomMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720796381067661157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759469.post-53033133740439162752010-05-27T17:10:38.384-07:002010-05-27T17:10:38.384-07:00My very stealthy husky Phoebe killed and ate a squ...My very stealthy husky Phoebe killed and ate a squirrel the other day.

Then you could Bop him into oblivion. Or you could get an airgun and slit a hole in your screen, watch for the bugger and shoot him. He'd never know it was you!! (no squirrel revenge)<br />Pat uses chicken wire to prevent rabbits. Who eat peppers and sweet peas. Squirrels in west normal seem to like tomatoes. We also do the chili powder routine, and Pat does like his airgun... <br />Good Luck!Janie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07780978288021422095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759469.post-15643421061407631892010-05-27T09:30:27.751-07:002010-05-27T09:30:27.751-07:00oh i feel your pain! only mine is still alive and...oh i feel your pain! only mine is still alive and kicking. <br /><br />there are squirrels all over my neighborhood and they sometimes will even come right up to me when i'm sitting on my deck! oh how it makes me shiver just writing this down.<br /><br />one time a squirrel actually ran right under my chair, and another stood between me and my car refusing to allow me to go to work!<br /><br />maybe i have a squirrel family living in one of my trees... that makes it a little better... if i think of them as family sort of animals... yeah, we'll go with that. <br /><br />great post, sis... i think the fear must run in our blood :)Leslie Ringgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339501135233906882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759469.post-24270025660848424242010-05-27T07:04:34.522-07:002010-05-27T07:04:34.522-07:00I had the same problem in my old house, those squi...I had the same problem in my old house, those squirrels dug up ALL my bulbs and ate them. They once tore into a pumpkin I had on the porch for halloween. <br /><br />We sprinkled cayenne pepper on the ground around the plants.<br /><br />We also greased the pole on our bird feeder, the would try to climb it and eat the bird seed (a crazy squirrel hanging from the birf feeder really deters the birds from eating there)Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379979515621847791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759469.post-71785894832993298542010-05-27T06:25:22.196-07:002010-05-27T06:25:22.196-07:00this was way funny! great writing! a fun way to st...this was way funny! great writing! a fun way to start my morning!;)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629124698876808728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759469.post-24632267711733499142010-05-27T05:48:06.046-07:002010-05-27T05:48:06.046-07:00Great tips.

I hit and killed one of these little guys with my car this morning. 1 less squirrel in the world!!<br /><br />(I am NOT a green thumb, but I've heard if you spinkle chili powder on and around your plants it'll keep rabits away...or get a cat. We used to have terrible time with rabits until about 3 of our neighbors got cats..no more rabit problems! I am assuming that would take care of the squirrel problem too)<br /><br />Good Luck!sarah.flyingkiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981796201425047965noreply@blogger.com
