How do you keep squirrels from eating tomato's?

Answer 1

There are three obvious ways to address the raccoons: 1. You can shoot them 2. You can trap them, either with traps that kill them or live traps that would allow you to relocat them

3. You can fence the garden (regular, barbedwire or electric).

Obviously which path you choose depends on where you live, where your garden is in relation to electricity and other homes, your abilities and preferences, etc. One note I would add is that, if you ever choose to trap them for relocation or try to put in an electric fence, be careful and do your homework (e.g., check with Department of Natural Resources).

Answer 2

All parts of the tomato plant are toxic except for the fruit. Anything you put on the fruit to deter raccoons from eating it will also make it inedible for humans. You might try removing the ripening fruit and letting it mature inside, out of the reach of raccoons. Yes, it does lose some of its flavor but, at least, you are getting some benefit from it. Some people trap the animals and take them a good distance from their home to release. However, considering how plentiful raccoons are in many areas, it would be a losing battle.
