How do you stop squirrels from eating your deck?

Answer 1

Some gardeners buy a fake owl and place it in a prominent and visible location in either their garden or on their deck. Most birds are highly respectful of the owl in the wild as it is a predator that eats small rodents and birds. There are a variety of fake owls available, some with swivel or bobbing heads to further create the illusion of a live owl, and many garden centers carry them.

Answer 2

Answer A squirrel will normally only come close to a human if it is being fed - which is not a good idea. A squirrel may be infected and if bitten by one, it is important to go to a doctor for at least an examination and possibly a tetanus shot. The only other reason a squirrel may approach a human is if it has rabies and is scared; in such a case a person should shout and wave arms - or strike it with a stick if one is close by. Rabies is transferrable from animals to humans and may be fatal. It is important to remember that squirrels are feral creatures and should not be hand-fed by people, especially children.
