Squirrel Deterrent #943885

Asked August 31, 2026, 3:15 PM EDT

I have a red oak tree. It produces a lot of acorns. I pick up the acorns a couple times a week. What else can I do to deter the squirrels? Do the sonic transmitters work?

I am sorry to burst your bubble but no..  Those detereets don|t work on those hiley squirrels.  About the only thing would be a dog loose in the yard who likes to chase them..  The various items used too startle them work only a couple times and then they figure them out and ignoer them or chew a hole in them.
