Strange topic. I've had a chance to sit on the deck a couple of times this spring and have noticed a rather amazing increase in the squirrel population as I'm observing my yard. First, I am wondering if this is unique to me (Chelmsford, MA), or if it's happening everywhere. I just counted 10 (10!!) squirrels in my yard or trees. I am sitting on the deck working and about every 10 minutes one of them creeps up on the deck and I shoo it away.
Thankfully they haven't explored my attic, chimney, or anywhere inside... yet.
Anyway, have any of you had a squirrel population issue and, if so, did you do anything that successfully repelled them? I'm not shooting them or trapping them unless they start attacking me or my wife-- so no need to go there.
Thanks.
