in Problem solving
So my neighbours have decided to stupidly feed the squirrels that live in there tree and where they have put the food right next to my garden the squirrels are sneaking in at night and literally digging up all my flowers! Woke up this morning to compost and soil everywhere and flowers strewn all over my garden I am LIVID to say the least! How do I get rid of the horrible bloody things!? Or at least make it more unpleasant for them to come in my garden!?

    Sprinkle holly leaves if you have them. 
    Liberate the feeder in the dead of night.👹
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    set a trap, catch them, kill them. ( it's illegal to "re-home" them elsewhere)

    If you want to know what's wrong with grey squirrels, ask yourself when you last saw a red squirrel.

    Pine martens are supposed to be good at keeping the numbers down, but we don't get many in London😒

    Not wishing to exonorate the little sods but have you actually seen the squirrels in action? They might not be the culprits as foxes will do this especially if you have used blood fish and bone fertiliser. London is not short of foxes.
