Got squirrels?

I had seven of the gray, furry creatures on the ground below my bird feeders this morning, fuzzy tails curled over their backs as they dined on fallen sunflower seeds.
So far, I haven’t had any squirrel problems. Last year and this year (to date), the critters seem unable to overcome the records and PVC pipes that bookend my feeders. (See last year’s photo.)
But if I did (have squirrel problems, that is), I would definitely want to borrow Sandy Morrissey’s squirrel deterrent. Head over to the In the Garden blog to see who took care of at least one of the squirrels at her feeders.
Here’s a roundup of various approaches to squirrel control.
