1. Removal of incentives
Think like a squirrel. What do they want from your backyard? Is it the crumbs your child left on the patio? Carrots and peaches in your garden? Nuts and seeds in bird feeders? (To be honest, if they can get there, we can also call it a squirrel feeder.)

garden
If squirrels are looting your garden, take steps to stop them. Use physical barriers such as cages, wire mesh or screens to protect your plants. If they are looking for food that has fallen from the tree, please rake it up regularly and throw it in a squirrel-proof trash can or compost bin.

Another option: plant mint. Squirrels hate the taste and smell of mint. As an added bonus, your mint can also be used for cooking, beverages (anyone wants to drink grasshoppers or mojito?) and more!

Rubbish
Even if there is no yard garbage inside, fix the lid of the trash can. Make sure that all trash is in the container and not sticking out or falling on the ground around the container. The exposed trash attracts squirrels, raccoons, mice, and other unwelcome guests.

Bird feeder
Make sure that the slot of the bird feeder is too small for squirrels to sneak in. Another way to keep squirrels away from bird feeders is to put soap on the lid of the bird feeder. Squirrels hate this smell, but it does not affect birds. You can also place bird feeders on poles away from trees or hang them where they cannot reach.

2. Give the squirrel a snack
You might think, "This is the exact opposite of removing incentives!" But you can distract squirrels by providing food on the other side of the yard. Some squirrel favorite snacks: sunflower seeds, peanuts and corn cobs.

If you don’t mind squirrels around, but don’t want them to appear on the terrace or near Outdoor Patio Umbrella, then this is a good choice. Providing hospitality on the other side of the yard allows you to watch the squirrels play while still keeping your backyard looking great.

3. Attack the senses to keep the squirrel away
You can use your knowledge of the five senses to keep squirrels away from your backyard. Here are some things that are smelly, disgusting, or taste terrible to squirrels.

Smell/taste
The urine of a coyote or fox. This sounds disgusting, but it works. Use a lawn sprayer to spray urine on the garden, lawn, or spray a line around the patio. Don't worry, you don't have to go in the wild to find some. You can buy these products at most home improvement and garden stores.
Drive deer. Spray deer repellent around the patio, the edge of the back wall, and any rain spout where squirrels can climb to reach your outdoor living space.
This is a good choice and can also protect your outdoor furniture, because you can spray deer repellent on the bottom of the furniture without causing damage (be sure to always read the label and apply it appropriately).
Apple cider vinegar. Soak the rags in apple cider vinegar and place them around the patio. Re-soak the cloth once a week to prevent small animals from entering.
soap bar. If you have a deck, rub a circle of soap on the edge of the patio or railing, the smell will keep the squirrels away.
Mix the pepper mixture. Line the chili powder along the perimeter of the terrace. Remember to redraw the line whenever the supply becomes low (for example after a heavy rain).
Sight
Let your pet patrol. If you have cats or dogs, please leave them in the backyard or on the patio. They will drive away any squirrels. However, please be careful not to let them attack or eat squirrels, as this will cause you trouble and put your pet at risk of illness.
Place a statue of an owl or eagle on your terrace. Squirrels will stay away from their natural enemies. Sadly, this can only last a few weeks, because the squirrel will find that the statue is not a real threat.
Stay on your terrace. It seems that you need another excuse to enjoy your patio furniture. But hey, it works! The squirrel was scared away.
sound
Turn on the radio. Squirrels are partying to poop. Playing music on your terrace will keep them away.
Use pest control ultrasonic equipment. If you are worried that the concert will disturb your neighbors, these devices can keep squirrels and other pests away from your patio.
feel

4. Pruning branches
The branches make it easy for squirrels to jump onto your patio. If there are branches hanging on your patio, it's time to trim it. Make sure to clamp the branches at least five feet away from the terrace to prevent them from jumping.

Give it a try
In short, you have many options to keep squirrels away from your outdoor entertainment space. You just need to find the right method or combination of methods for you.

We recommend that you avoid using rodent poison or any chemical/toxic substances. Although you can get rid of the squirrel problem, using poison is dangerous for other animals (such as your pet) and people, especially children. Our method above will prevent squirrels from ruling your patio without harming them or anyone else.
