How can I stop squirles from tearing open my patio cushions?
Can't use pepper spray since it would get on humans. The
squirrles are now through the second set. They tear open
the tops and use the stuffing for nests. :x

Can you bribe them with nesting material? Put out cotton balls for them. How about a hot wire? Maybe get a sheet of bubble wrap (large bubbles). Lay the bubble wrap on the chairs. Would their nails break the bubble and scare them? Spray the chairs with orange oil? Would the taste of orange oil repel?

Just thinking out loud here. Use whatever you think makes sense and let us know what you discover?
