Squirrels are a vital part of the ecosystem. However, they can be a major nuisance in gardens for several reasons. Firstly, they can eat various plants, fruits, and flowers, which can significantly damage your garden.  Additionally, squirrels are notorious for digging in container gardens and flower beds to eat bulbs and corms, which can be frustrating for gardeners who have worked hard to cultivate their plants. Beyond the damage to plants, squirrels can also destroy garden furniture, decking, and even plastic containers.
