[Sca-cooks] OT-Squirrelly Issues

bobcat urine? 
(seriously they sell it as a deer repellant)

Other than that, most gerdeners frame their berry patches 
on top and sides (and some degree underground -- usually 
6 inches below grade. Squirrels DO also tunnel) with 
close chicken wire, or birdnetting. 
That is the only certain way. 
(and even then, the ants get their share!)

My strawberry problem was not so much squirrels (who instead
ate nearly every squashblossom as it formed) but birds. 
The little buggers would eat chunks out of the ripe berries
and leave perfect beakshaped holes.
