Keep Squirrels Out of Your Home & Garden

I am a nature lover. I love all animals and would never want to hurt any of them. I even love squirrels. They are so cute, running around collecting nuts and running up trees. With their cute fluffy tails.

But squirrels can also be somewhat of a nuisance. Especially if you feed the birds, like I do. Does this picture look familiar?


Now, like I said I love all animals, and don't want to hurt any of them. But when a squirrel gets on my bird feeder, I really do get angry. I do not want them getting on top of my feeder eating all the seed.

Squirrels can also eat plants in your garden. Which can be annoying, since you spend a lot of time and money planting everything. They also can be a problem if they get in your house. If they get in your attic or anywhere else in your house. They can chew on your installation or your electrical wiring. This happened to my mother last year. She discovered a few squirrels had found a way into her attic and were nesting up there. They made a mess of some stuff up there and even chewed through her Christmas Tree lights!

Well, if you have this problem with squirrels, there are
squirrel repellents that can help. Havahart squirrel repellents can help keep squirrels away from your feeders, garden and out of your attic! They repel by taste and odor. And are safe for all your plants. And they don't harm the animals, they just keep them away from where you don't want them! Check out their complete line of repellents to keep squirrels and other wildlife away from your home!

I Love Feeding Birds!




About 15 years ago, I really became interested in birds. For about 5 years I lived in the country. There were so many birds. I set up a bunch of feeders and got a lot of birds coming to them. I had a large variety of birds. Such as Goldfinches, Cardinals, Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks, and a lot more.

But I don't live in the country anymore. I live in the city. Unfortunately I don't get the great variety of birds I used to. But I still get Cardinals, Sparrows, Mourning Doves, and a few others coming to my birdfeeders.

I also not only have birds coming on my feeders, I also have squirrels getting on them! Which I don't mind if the squirrels eat the food off the ground, but it really irks me when they jump on the feeder and start gobbiling up all the bird seed!

I would really love to get a new birdfeeder that is squirrel proof. I was looking online and found some really nice birdfeeders on a website called Birdfeeders.com. They have a huge selection of beautiful bird feeders. They also have some that are squirrel proof. Just what I need!

Here's a picture of a squirrell proof one I really like:





If you like feeding the birds, as much as I do, then check out Birdfeeders.com for a great selection of birdfeeders.
