Then you’ll just have obese squirrels raiding your sunflowers.
Nah I feed the animals (squirrels, deer, birds, other critters) 50 pounds a day of corn and they never touch gardens or plants.
You must be a republican because only a republican could be this stupid.

You can buy mesh bags or tie paper bags around them. Obviously they can chew through them and the sunflowers I plant are way too tall to bag without a tall ladder, but you can try that.

Do not do this. You will just increase the number of squirrels, rats, and other rodents you have. A lot of rodents have litters in proportion to the abundance of food.

With the exception of wild black raspberries, the deer still munch those but not enough to matter since I can only pick so many anyways. They mostly hide baby deer in those bushes so that’s probably why they target those specifically.

Keep your feeding area far away from anything you don’t want disturbed, feed in same location daily.

If anyone knows I’m all ears. A squirrel just made off with an entire sunflower head this morning. 😡

Other than shooting them, I don't know how you'd keep them off.

Any ideas of how to keep squirrels from chewing off sunflowers? Sprays, motion-activated sprinklers, owl decoys? Does anything work? Thank you!
