This. I found the squirrels to leave the bird feeders and the garden alone if you leave them a danegeld of raw peanuts and maybe strap an ear of corn to the tree.
I buy in shell peanuts for wildlife and the squirrels love them. They bury them all round the property which is fun to watch. On Nextdoor I occasionally find posts from people trying to figure out where all these peanut shells are coming from in my neighborhood.
You sometimes have to be careful with corn… I picked up some cheap bird food with corn in it, the squirrels got into it and buried kernels all around the yard. My wife just about went crazy yanking corn sprouts out of our and the neighbors yard! 😄

My neighbor does this and I hate them. I have peanut shells all over my property. I can’t walk barefoot because there’s so fucking many shells.
They’re in my drains. They’re in my flower and veggie beds. Birds pick them up and take them to my roof and try to crack them at 6am and wake us up.
I HATE HATE HATE my peanut throwing neighbors.
Hi neighbor
Hey there
Now kith

Free corn tho
🎵 Oh strap an ear of corn, to the old oak tree… 🎵
I just watched “o brother where art thou”. Soggy bottom boys got a new hit
🎵 I-he-yahi am an ear, of corn and sorrow. I’ve seen squirrels, all my days…🎶
I do this, but I’ve got a wood chip yard except for where plants are.
Guess where the little bastards bury their peanuts?
In your corn-hole?
