Hide the Food
It may sound obvious, but squirrels are drawn to food as a means of survival. Whether your garden is bursting with fruits and vegetables or there are acorns in the nearby woods, squirrels will go to great lengths to get their paws on some food. Be sure to rake up any fruits, vegetables, acorns or nuts that have fallen on the ground. You should also make sure that squirrels can't scavenge through your garbage can, as this is an attractive food source for them.Plant Flowers
