Hav-a-hart trap works WELL for me!--Stitz

Plan 'A'
I hope this does'nt sound too hokey. And I'm not sure it will actually work,but here goes.Most animals stake out territories,but I'm not sure if squirrels do it.I've seen squirrel fights in my yard,so maybe they do.
Territories are staked out using urine,and look out! to the one that crosses that line. If you could 'stake out' your greenhouse,they might get the hint and stay away.If you have a cat,spreading around the litter box residue may work,or finding ways of 'watering' the area [delicate subject here]could work as well.Enough said ? No guarantees here,but I've been told this has a chance of working.
If not,plan 'B'
Which is cutting up fresh bars of 'Irish Spring' hand soap,and placing slivers of it in and around the plants. Maybe hang a few bars from the rafters,to drench the shed with the strong smell of soap. This I know works, to keep DEER away from plants.[really!], however, Squirrels may just find some water and use the opportunity to take a fragrant bath ! But anyway, thats all I got,and good luck.

LOL, I'm trying to suppress an image of Bob marking his territory! ;-)

This will sound even hokier(if thats even a word)I had a possum, raccon, squirrel problem I did the foloowing: put up motion detecting lights and purchased(yes purchased) natural preditor urine sprays and it worked

Lisa,...shame ! ;-)
HDD...I'm trying to surpress an image of how they get a preditor to willingly fill up a bottle !
Bob ;-(

Bob some questions are best not asked.:) So I didnt. I did ask what preditors -coyote and bobcat

I have a problem with racoons eating my "neo hearts". My husband has volunteered to "mark my territory" for me, but before such a radical step is taken I am wondering exactly what is the outcome of this damage to the bromeliad. Apart from the looks of the plant, does it impede its growth or ability to pup?

kew tip, I have found it goes both ways,some die off,some send out a pup. I have one that you would toss by the looks of it,but it has a pup just starting. I'll post a photo of one that looks pretty far gone.I don't think that the critters that chew up the plant are actually eating it,I think they are hunting for the bugs and insects that hide inbetween the leaves.Thats the 'food' they're after,and the leaves are just in their way. But thats just my theory,only the critters know.Racoons are the most curious of all,they just enjoy taking things apart,and turning things over,again looking for food they can eat.

I noticed that tipped over broms from "wild" squirrels & birds, especially crows, increases during dry spells. What better place for a refreshing drink? --Stitz

Same issue. I'm going to try spraying (at least the tillandsias) with capsicum. Fingers crossed...
