Solving Squirrel Problems: How to Keep This Ubiquitous Pest Out of Home and Garden

by Monte Burch

Where there are trees, there are squirrels, and where there are squirrels, there are ripped garbage bags and ruined attics. And there are trees everywhere...
Help arrives in the form of Monte Burch's SOLVING SQUIRREL PROBLEMS. Burch, a lifelong hunter and observer of the natural world, reveals long-stored acorns of wisdom about defeating one of Mother Nature's wiliest and most persistent pests. In clearly written, succinct chapters, Burch reveals how to turn your bird feeder into an impregnable fortress, friendly only to winged creatures. He also discusses battening down attics, barns, and other areas of interest to squirrels. And he talks about why squirrels do what they do, and how to outthink them.
For anyone who lives within sight of a tree, SOLVING SQUIRREL PROBLEMS is a vital necessity.

[Chelsea · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is not just about squirrels, but ground squirrels; chipmunks, woodchucks; groundhogs, and more. I have chipmunks living along my foundation of our home which is a concern. I learned so much about the critters and how to go about the methods of trapping and repelling. Part of being a gardener is living with all living things, there is no perfect fix, but better understanding.
