Reply:put a food table out for the little bugger, he's probably hungry and thinks he's a dog
Reply:Get a peashooter or a dog that will go for the kill. You could put a layer of mesh over the top of your pots and baskets - it stopped their games at my place.
Reply:Gun?
Reply:Catapult?
Reply:put mesh over the top of the soil that plants can grow through but squirrels can't get under

Reply:I saw that squirrel catapult video, but try using wire with Vaseline to hang the plants... and get a dog if you don't have one already.
Reply:I use a type of black plastic netting available at most garden centers. You strech it over the container and nail it, tape it, or glue gun it in place. It's the same color as potting soil so it is nearly invisible. Your plants will grow right through it as long as it is no more than two inches above the soil. It would be very odd for a squirrel to bury a food can but sometimes squirrels are very odd creatures. I have one that sits in my oak tree and throws acorns at my cat. This happens regularly.
