Try motion-activated sprinklers. These will spray squirrels when they get too close, with the added benefit of watering your lawn.
Use squirrel repellent. Several products are available at hardware and home and garden stores. They're typically made with natural ingredients that cause squirrels to stay away. Some repellents are made with cayenne or black pepper, which repels squirrels but doesn't bother birds. These repellents can be added directly to the bird feeder.
- Some repellents are made with the urine of squirrels' predators. These are meant to be sprayed around gardens to keep squirrels away.
Remove squirrel food. Sure, you don't think of it as squirrel food, but if squirrels are overrunning your property it's because they're finding a lot of things they like to eat.
Rake up nuts, berries, and acorns from trees in your yard that drop them. These are squirrels' main sources of food.
Buy sealable outdoor trashcans. If your trashcan is easy for squirrels to get into, replace it with one that has a tight-sealing lid. Make sure you keep it closed at all times.
