It takes quite a bit to deter a red squirrel. By hook or crook they can get into almost anything. I believe deterrence is our only hope. I decided to try to grow ginseng in a semi-natural setting. It needed a modicum of protection from the marauding red squirrels. I have observed them dig bulbs up simply for a brief examination. They leave half-eaten nuts inside my art studio. The trick is to bore them until they leave the space or area alone. Also, a multi-layered defense is recommended. The open air structure created has layers of steel fencing and plastic mesh. Thus far they appear to be ignoring my precious ginseng!
