Squirrel chews

[anchorhd]

Been out repairing chews on the 3/16 spiles and tubing. Connectors and tape. I also added a little cyan treat for the little $#!@s.
Anyone have a fool proof solution besides a 22? Or the chew repairs?

Skinned and quartered with onions, potatoes, carrots, water, and beef bullion. In the slow cooker until it falls apart, yummy.

The deer got me last night. First time in a few years.

Replace lines where needed. To prevent the squirrel chews , when I clean my tubing I use pool shock , no sodium. Year before I changed 1000 ft. of 3/16 with chews. This season I only found 2 chews. Its the sodium there after, get rid of that you've mostly solved your problem.

I have had better luck deterring them with Sriracha sauce than just cyan or hot sauce. It stays on the tree and lines longer and it has a different smell that really seems to repel them.

Interesting idea. My deterrent comes in a shell form and seems to work well. Plant some walnut trees in your lawn and throw a bird feeder in there. They come right to the deterrent.
