    Great! I've been using this method for years on voles and it has always worked perfectly. The only difference is I used plain flour not cornmeal. I also added some sugar. We once had over 200 vole holes in our backyard (small grassy area). I simply poured the mixture into their holes. Within a couple months all the holes filled in and the voles were gone. Thanks for the scientific experiment on a squirrel. They attack our garden and also carry diseases and ticks. Thanks much!

    Cornmeal mixed with a little honey also kills ants, in the same way. I got rid of a colony of ants in my house several years ago using this method. I watched them lined up on my kitchen counter digging into the pile of cornmeal and taking it back to the nest. The little pile disappeared and so did the ants.

    I have never heard of this problem with squirrels, but a couple of years ago I did see a squirrel attack an adult chicken! No harm was done, but it sure startled me! I lost my garage cats this summer, and just saw a rat in my garden last night so I will have to be aware. We used to have a lot, but between our two garage cats, and bait traps we got them knocked back. Our hoarder neighbor sold his house to us, and when we cleared the property everyone in the neighborhood had a real situation for about a year.

They dont mind this one bit, they make the Beverly hillbillies look classy. The problem is their squirrels become my squirrels, they ripped a hole in my house, they been under the hood of my car stashing nuts inside the engine, they tear up the yard, my plants and basically everything. I had it wasting money on products and time trying to find what works. This saves me so much . Thank you Jerry!.

    We had all our feed & storage bins lined in lite gauge stainless steel. Not terribly expensive because we bought 4x8 ft sheets and bent and welded ourselves then built wood frames around them. They were rodent proof, didn't hold moisture and lasted the 35 yrs we owned the farm. We used feed bags on the horses and kept them in one bin. I wish we would have known about the "rodent gourmet dessert mix". That would have been very handy! Instead we had Miniature Pinschers and Jack Russell's to keep the rodent population down. I may mix up some to use around our sheds, so thanks for the instructions!

    I suppose it would work for groundhogs. I’ve shot a couple this year and they must have been killed by lead poisoning. The pellets didn’t but shock the animal and it took a few days to a week for them to die in an open spot on the ground. They didn’t stay in their den and die. I’m not really sure but I would prefer your method. The squirrels haven’t been running off with my tomatoes in a couple years so they haven’t bothered me but in years past they could wipe out my tomatoes. So strange how they quit eating them. They knew not to eat green ones too.

    Thank you. Very educational. I’ve been trying to get rid of squirrels in my yard due to them digging in my flowers and several other things. We also have moles that make our yard look like a minefield. And tunnels everywhere. I have been trapping squirrels and relocating but they don’t seem to be interested that anymore. I’m definitely going to try your method. Thank you again.

    I have a medium sized backyard. My next-door neighbor began feeding walnuts to the squirrels and every day they would come into our yard and bury/dig up them. We had so many holes in our lawns and potted plants. One day I was watching one hopping around our lawn looking for his walnuts. I was thinking, "Boy their noses must be SO sensitive to smell a nut that was buried." Then it came to me. If their noses are THAT sensitive, maybe there is something that they can smell that would be uncomfortable to their noses. The first thing that came to mind was ONION, so I got an onion and cut it up and strew it around my hard, my veggie garden, on top of my pergola, on the roof of my shed. The next day I was in my backyard and all of a sudden, I felt strange. Almost eerie. Something was different. NO SQUIRRELS! After a day or so, I saw one with a nut in its mouth. Now usually they would run along my back fence, climb down my tree and come into the yard but instead now they run up the telephone/cable pole to the highest wire connected and run past my yard! It is hysterical how they will do anything to not come into my yard. One day two were chasing each other and were speeding across the fence, one kept going but the other started to come down the tree. All of a sudden it was like it realized where it was going and hie tailed it back up the tree. Now once a week I go and give them what they apparently HATE. Onions. It's been three weeks and still no squirrels in my yard.

      If they have become wary of traps, try setting a dish of the baking soda mixture out WITHOUT putting it in a trap. Yeah, you probably won't be able to find the bodies later to dispose of them. But they won't be scared away from the bait by a trap either, and most important.....they'll be GONE.

    Thank you for this valuable information. The squirrels here like to eat the chickens' food and since I had an "egg layer mix" out, they multiplied bigly this spring. The resident mice completely trashed the lawnmower shed over the winter. Someone told me that rodents don't like moth balls, so that is (apparently) keeping them out of the shed at this time, but I was still collecting 2-3 mice (tiny ones) a day... I'm sure this will cut down on that number. Will put it in small containers around the outside of the chicken fence. :) Thanks again!

    We pest controllers in the UK have known that for years. A mixture of flavour ( nuts for squirrels or chicken for rats) mixed with plaster of Paris solidifies in their stomachs after they drink. The problem is, it is not humane and takes too long. We are working on sterilisation to rid our country of grey squirrels through special feeding hoppers that only the heavier greys can get to but the smaller red squirrels cannot. The aim is after 10 years or so there won’t be any breading of them left. Greys being an invasive species here in the UK. They could try the same method to stop pythons breading in the Everglades.
