I've heard several suggestions that sound gory...(sigh). I don't want to kill them. I want them to stop digging in my Mom's flowerpots, leaving soil all over the patio floor. I thought they were looking for bulbs but they're persistantly uprooting "bulbless" plants as well.  Thank you for your suggestions. CeriseRose |

you might try taking a bar of irish spring soap and running it around the outside edge of the pots, good coating. works for deer,,, |

A nice tom cat will take care of them for you. :)
Have you tried something like shake-away? It's supposed to keep pests away without harming them or the environment. |

Hire some Mercenaries. If those mercenaries are squirrels...no thanks. They are coming around as well. A friend told me to try orange peels. So we put oranges down and they devoured them.  I'll rofl when this is solved! But until then, I "ain't nothin but a hounddog" Thank you too! |

So far, there is a little less activity. I will check back with her in couple more days to see full results. Thanks again! CeriseRose |

That's good. I was afraid if it wasn't working, you would have had some pretty bad chipmunks on your hands. lol
I would have offered to have Dixy, our tomcat come in and take care of them. He's from the hood and he's pretty hardcore. :P |

I have heard that one way to repel varmints is making a circle around the area with human urine. Guys, get to work.
