I need help finding a solution for these two situations. Please advise. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Situation #1: My father wants to know the best way to keep squirrels out of his garden. Preferable off the fence and out of the trees as well. They seem to eat the veggies he grows and the fruits off the trees. He hates that and wants them gone for good. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xyxgun.gif
Situation #2: I live in a high-rise apartment building. While I have not seen any rats or mice, I have this funny feeling they are in the walls. I've heard from neighbors several floors down that they actually seen mice. How do I keep them out of my apartment or get them out if they are already inside?
I've prefer to avoid poison because a dead rodent is a stinky rodent. I don't want to touch anything! For situation #1 I've heard something about putting hot pepper around a tree to keep squirrels away (does that work?), but that does nothing for the garden. Basically I'm leaning toward those sonic solutions for both cases, but I know almost nothing about them. Do they actually work? Can they protect a whole garden? Anybody use them before and have an opinion? How about those electomagnetic plugins that suppose to work on the electrical wiring throughout you home? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif Maybe a solution I haven't mentioned? Thanks in advance! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
