I had squirrels and trapped for 2 years and hauled them about 10 miles away and released them in open fields. Now no more squirrels, but he deer have taken over, I have fenced and tried every spray in creation and it does no good even with pepper they just act like it is salad dressing. They not only bite the tomatoes, but eat the plants down to the ground. I have almost given up planting tomatoes.
