How do you get rid of squirrels that chew through the wood to get into your shed?

Alternative chews/shelters, mesh/metal/wire coverings, sprays and traps are ways to keep squirrels from continuing to chew through wood to get into sheds.
Specifically, the choice of control depends upon the reasons why squirrels are trying to get inside the shed. For example, a mother-to-be can be looking for shelter in order to give birth. Females and males may be looking for alternate chewing sources -- to keep their ever-growing teeth properly trimmed -- when the normal sources -- such as nuts -- are sparse, unacceptable or unavailable.
The least extreme measures constitute:
- Providing alternate sources for squirrels to attend to raising young and tending to teeth;
- Reinforcing or transforming wood exteriors, with mesh or wire coverings and metal sheets.
For those who care about wildlife and recognize the contributions which squirrels make to green space, the last measure is questionable. Removal means that the problem is no longer the shed-owner's. But exile may not be kind to the squirrel, who may experience "new-kid-on-the-block" syndrome and may not be able to claim a share of edibles and resources in habitats already claimed by other squirrels and wildlife.

If the doors of the shed are made of wood, then it's obviously a phosphorus deficiency that's make them lick or even chew at the doors of your shed. To prevent this from happening, you'll have to find some feed or mineral mix that contains enough phosphorus that stops them from doing that.
