Only problem with the blood meal or dried blood is that rather than squirrels you may now have cats and dogs diggin' in yer panzies... especially dogs... You may wish you had the squirrels back... Actually, there's some nasty stuff called Liquid Fence that is usually used to keep deer away that might very well keep the squirrels away. I use it for deer and have noticed that in those areas the sguirrels don't go... But it is rather stinky so again you may wish you just had the squirrels...

The squirrel is the worlds most determined animal. I used to trap them and cart them off but that didn't work. Ya' really can't shoot them 'cause they don't deserve that. Maybe you could just drive yer car 'round yer planters and wait fir the danged squirrels to do their hairy-carry thing as they don't have a clue about cars. They could have seena million of them but the next one they see will be like the first one they've ever seen...

'Bout half an hour of driving 'round the panzies oughtta so it...
