Install fences or barriers around your garden using materials like wire mesh or chicken wire to prevent squirrels from accessing your plants and vegetables.
Certain plants, such as daffodils, hyacinths, and alliums, have strong scents that deter squirrels. Consider planting these around the perimeter of your garden to create a natural barrier.
Use commercially available squirrel-repellent sprays or homemade solutions made from ingredients like hot peppers, garlic, or vinegar
Place items like predator urine or predator decoys (such as fake owls or snakes) around your garden to create the illusion of danger and deter squirrels from entering.
Set up bird feeders or squirrel feeders away from your garden to attract squirrels and redirect their attention away from your plants and vegetables.
Install motion-activated sprinklers, lights, or noise devices that startle squirrels when they approach your garden, encouraging them to stay away.
Keep your garden clean and free of debris, fallen fruit, and seeds that may attract squirrels. Regularly prune trees and shrubs to eliminate hiding spots
