Love ‘em
They’re cute and their antics are always fun to watch.What to do
Give them their own feeder where they can eat seeds, grain and nuts to help keep them away from your bird feeders.
Hate ‘em
Eating, stealing and digging are just a few of the problems squirrels cause. Their curiosity and appetite lead them into many destructive situations. Squirrels eat mostly nuts, seeds and berries, but are known to eat almost any other vegetation as well as an occasional egg or even small birds.What to do
Seal any areas where they could enter your home. Metal baffles on bird feeder poles are helpful at protecting birdseed. Lay wire mesh over planted areas to prevent digging. And if you store birdseed outdoors, it must be in metal containers to prevent squirrels from gnawing into it.
