Tape is a great idea.

Ga'Day Mr Sun " C " if you are in a Rural Residential area then you have most likely become the prey for Raccoons, Foxes, Rabbits ( They stretch up), and coyotes. They Sneak in at Night, Hmmp LL Monsters. Luck to ya Chief!

Thanks for the tip

I just pinch out the squash bug eggs along with a piece of squash leaf to get the eggs. It is a lot faster and doesen't hurt the squash.

[@SunCityLawnCare]

Nice! I hadn’t seen anyone use another leaf for that. Whatever works right.

Maybe a camera, trail cam, would help...

[@SunCityLawnCare]

Been thinking the same, gonna put a Blink camera back out there.

[@kimmorgano8778]

I have Blink. It's great!

Squirrels

[@alidadebruyn36]

I agree. We live in a forest area and have millions of squirrels. They buggers in my veggie garden 😡 they even managed to get in my hot tub shed where I have a fridge and keep my wild bird food in there. The buggers know how to open the fridge I had to put Velcro on just to stop them getting in the fridge 😡

[@SunCityLawnCare]

I’d love to see squirrels around here but don’t come across them in our neighborhood.

I don’t use bird netting anymore. It has killed beneficial snakes in my garden.

[@SunCityLawnCare]

Oh dang I can imagine that being problematic. We only have rattlers and few other poisonous snakes here in the desert.

[@BlushingRoseDiaries]

@@SunCityLawnCare let just hope To god you never have to remove one of those out of the netting. Especially if it’s still alive. It was a nightmare removing the beneficial ones from ours.

[@richardtaylor7520]

Looks like bird pecks

[@SunCityLawnCare]

I think so too.
