Squirrels And My Cushions


Question
Please please what can I do to keep squirrels away from destroying my cushions?

Answer
You essentially have two options.

1. Lethal control (be sure to consult state agencies before initiating any control)
2. Secure the cushions for a few weeks until the nesting period is over.

I don't recommend repellents because they aren't eating as much as gnawing.

Alternative nesting material may work, but I wouldn't bet on it.
