How to keep squirrels out of flower pots?

 The most obvious way to stop squirrels in their tracks is to put physical barriers in their way… Try covering the surface of the pot with attractive rocks and stones.

 

A very economical solution is to stick bamboo skewers in your pots with the pointy ends upwards. The squirrels will be deterred by the sharpness of the points and your plants will be left alone to flourish!

 

One of the most commonly used tricks to keep squirrels out of potted plants is to put something in the pots that the squirrels won’t like. Mix in fresh, strong smelling coffee grounds with the top layer of soil. The odour is repellent to squirrels but does them no harm.
