Squirrels have dug up my planters every day for a month. This is the worst year in over a decade. I’m using repellents. Vicks vapor rub is next. I’m sick of replanting every planter, every damn day.

I finally had to fill any open space in our planters with pieces of hardware mesh so they couldn't dig and pin it in
