The most effective solution is to carefully fence your strawberry
patch, above as well as around, and surround said strawberry patch
with a fence containing an active, enthusiastic dog. YOU may not be
able to be on squirrel alert 24/7, but an enthusiastic dog will quite
cheerfully greet its new fuzzy tailed toy, at any hour of the day or
night ;-)

Don't like getting old? Beats the Hel out of the alternative.
The purpose of life is not to arrive at the grave, a beautiful corpse,
pretty and well-preserved, but to slide in sideways, thoroughly used
up, totally worn out, proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride!"
