Re: Does Ferret Excrement Keep Squirrles away ?
 
I've used it to keep mice out of my flower gardens.  Mice were having a
field day eating some of the plants.  The poop seemed to keep them away.  An
officemate I had once used to make "voodoo sticks" (as she called them) for
her vegetable garden.  She used to take fur from her cats and skins from her
snakes to discourage rabbits and other nibbley creatures.  She said they
worked great.  For mice and rabbits, I'm sure it would work.  Squirrels....I
don't know.  They are as persistant as ferrets!  ;)
