Ohhhh...you guys have me laughing so hard my stomach hurts!

And- Oh Yeh, Uncle Toad, you forgot the anthrax and the cats.

It occurs to me that wetting on the pansies as you electrocute yourself, thereby using something smelly as a deterrent incorporates so many of the ideas that it has to be the one that will ultimately work the best. Or could it be that thongs with swirls or lightning bolts may repel the critters?

Sinsull and Jeri, we may not be able to solve Uncle Toad's issue, but maybe you could try pots of pansies outside as trap crops for the squirrels?
