  0 0 Pigeons have never bothered me or the gardens I have worked in, so about them I have no advice. Squirrels are a Major annoyance to Seattle gardeners. We are plagued by Eastern U.S. gray squirrels, that are weedy here: diurnal rats with bushy tails. Among other things, squirrels can: dig up bulbs we plant; plant peanuts, walnuts, chestnuts and whatnot in our gardens; taste unripe fruit, such as plums, then drop the same, to taste another, and so on, instead of waiting until the crop is ripe and then eating a few; nest not only in trees but in attics; knock over potted plants . . . A solution that many individuals employ, is to acquire a "Have a Heart" trap, bait it with peanuts or peanut butter; and then after the squirrel is caught, either no longer have a heart and drown it, or drive it far away and release it. These traps also catch rats, and now and then a jay. So they ought not be used unless you are on top of the situation. Everyone I know who does this, reports that the squirrels just keep appearing; it almost seems like a waste of time. Coyotes move around from place to place in Seattle. When they are in my neighborhood the result is fewer squirrels, raccoons, and cats. Probably rats, too.
