Squirrels

[Island Girl]

Bud, why does the blood work? I've never heard of that... That's interesting

[Bud]

I think its the smell of dried blood that the squirrels don't like. But after a while I don't smell a thing....its just when it is still fresh that it stinks.

Thanks for the pointers everyone! RJ...THAT was hilarious!

The blood thing worked really well getting rid of some deer that were eating my roses. The only problem I had was it was in powered form and I made the mistake of mixing it in the kitchen sink. I ended up looking like a bad witch from a horror movie and the whole house smelled like....well, you can guess. Good luck.
P.S... I know some people here in the South that would eat them for you. Just an offer.

It also works on deers! that is good to know....after a while the smell goes away but the animals can still smell it
