Of course it is usually the best looking one in the garden.

You can try a repellent containing castor oil–moles dislike it intensely. You could also try a repellent containing predator urine (fox/bobcat etc.,). And you mnight try sprinkling cayenne pepper around any holes you see.

So far the crushed red pepper flakes work just fine for me. Of course I add a bunch!

They destroyed our polywood chairs. They get endorphins from chewing and keep their teeth trimmed too. Our pesky squirrels even eat the bird seed treated with hot peppers. If you have squirrels good luck!!

Here is another story, purchased squirrel Buster feeders but they still hang all over them and try to get to the seed. I will sprinkle the red pepper under and some inside the feeders trays , hope it works ,thank you again.
