Rick Bickling, The How Do Gardener, describes his moderately epic quest to keep squirrels from terrorizing his garden, and the ONE solution that is SO STUPID, that it just might work better than anything.

In the desert here, (California), we have lots of ground squirrels. Oh my gosh, we have everything in the garden behind wire and wrapped in tulle! They are so smart and I love them and am always trying to outsmart them. "you have to be smarter than what you're working with" , is something I've always heard. I'm dumber than a squirrel I guess. LOL I love your videos. Thank you! I may buy some of these air critters, good thing we're not in an HOA! LOL

@@TheHowDoGardener Usually it is not that much of a problem as I grow extra in case the critters eat some. This is the first year that I have had such a bad problem. I think that due to our very wet winter, it made it easier for the animals to survive. I don’t give up. I have been a gardener for more than 60 years. Worst comes to worst, I can grow some of the smaller items inside. Thanks again!

Thank you for the heads up on this latest video, you are a genius! I don't grow any fruit here, too cold in my neck of the woods in Canada, no peach trees for me though I've thought of blueberries... but not seriously. I think you may have a winner there, they could get used to it, but I think the sheer erratic movement and size possibly colour, are the perfect combination! I will tuck that into my memory banks, but I have no outdoor plug at the moment. Do they come in battery or solar? Right now I have my raised bed going as I said in the last video, and got hoops and put that veggie white covering over the seedlings, it seems to have worked. No messing at all from squirrels or chipmunks. Now this could be because the veggies are still small and the bed is waist high, but there's a handy fence and shed nearby for jumping points? So I am not sure how it'll go when I take off the cover. I will set up my Orbit motion sprinkler jet pointed their way if there's a hint of a problem. I also plant marigolds and geraniums nearby as they don't like the smell apparently, and tea tree oil too. Glad you're getting to enjoy the "fruits" of your labours literally! I think your videos are fantastic, you must spend a lot of time editing, and your dry sense of humour is a hit with me as I'm originally British and we have that in our DNA I think! Your garden is lovely too btw. I recently just had to clean out my garden shed, disgusting mouse nest filled with foul smelling urine in one of my garden pots ... truly cringe-worthy! 😤Now I read they don't like peppermint smell, so I'm putting cotton balls in the corners soaked in peppermint essential oil. Plus I cleaned it all with a bleach solution, so I'm hoping something works!? Which reminds me, I bought fox urine pellets to ward off chipmunks etc, doesn't work. I also had squirrels chew through wiring under my car hood when I was at work, on the way home in a rainstorm my wipers quit working! Another time my headlights went out! The mechanic told me there was half a bagel stuffed down the side of my engine! I blame Doug the guy I worked with who used to feed the "rats with good PR" in the area where I parked my car! p.s. I subscribed!

It's a great idea, but how noisy is the animated dancer? I'd need a bunch of them so if they are loud it might not work for me. My method, besides cages around smaller trees, is to put cylindrical sleeves(made of 1/4" hardware cloth) over clusters of fruit, or even individual fruit. This absolutely works, but can be a pain to install and remove without breaking small branches. And all my vegetable gardens are inside cages of some sort, and I even have a blueberry cage that holds 10 plants in containers. I also have two plum trees inside an electrified fence and that works for the squirrels but not birds.
@TheHowDoGardener
@TheHowDoGardener 2 месяца назад
It's pretty loud. Right outside a window you can hear it some indoors. I've had it running 24/7 and you do kind of get used to the sound. I also have caged my entire garden, small potted citrus trees, and potted blueberries. I'm trying out some braided stainless steel bags you can zip tie over fruit. I'll be using this thing under larger fruit trees that have too many fruit to individually cover.

I wonder if that would work to deter Mr Racoon. He did a ton of damage, and as soon as I would fill in the holes and replant he would attack again. Finally caught him on the critter cram i put up. I put all my plants in jail and I still had massive holes. Then the critter cam showed he had brought Mrs. Racoon to help him! Grrr...

LOL! I knew it! As soon as you asked what was big, scary, loud, with erratic movement, I said, the inflatable dancing man. Then you unboxed one!! 😆 I'm glad it's working. I can tell you, there's a family of feral cats that I feed, and about 10 other neighborhood cats that run around here (that I don't feed), and they just sit and watch the squirrels. Nobody ever even tries to catch one. They catch birds and bats though. The squirrels must run the neighborhood mafia.

I am your brother in arms. (hint hint). But if not that, I recommend an electric fence - and not some namby-pamby .01 joule junk, either. I built my own. I use Ardunio controllers and high voltage high performance automotive coils. Nothing provides quite the satisfaction as seeing the squirrels jump in shock (no pun intended) as they traverse a path they once thought safe. They learn quickly, too. 1 day of electrified fence tops is all it took. They REFUSE to traverse a fence that was their regular path for 20 years. Look, these "little angels" (er...demons) cause pain. Pain when you pay for their incessant damages. Pain when you watch them starve from overpopulation, and of course pain when they destroy your garden, your brake lines, your roof, etc. Pain for you, pain for your wife, pain for your friends who would otherwise enjoy the pomegranates and figs. The bottom line is harsh, yet undeniable...they only understand pain. It is that simple. You need not kill them, but treaties and bargains are impossible. They must FEAR coming into your garden MORE than the CRAVE the forbidden fruit. Electric Fence. Legal, safe, 24/7 passive protection. A day's work, maybe 2. Around $100 bucks and you're ready to go. :) Cheers my brother! Keep fighting the good fight, and remember the key word; PAIN 🤣
