Squirrels wreaking havoc in your garden? 9 products to keep them (mostly) out this spring

Spring is here, which means gardens across the country are starting to bloom, and squirrels are out in full force. If you've spent hours planting tulip bulbs only to find them dug up the next morning, or watched a squirrel casually empty your bird feeder, you already know the struggle is real.

These little critters are clever, persistent, and surprisingly acrobatic, which makes keeping them out of your garden harder than it should be.

The good news? There's a whole category of squirrel deterrent products on Amazon designed to protect your flowers, veggies, and bird feeders without actually harming the squirrels themselves.

I've rounded up 9 of the best-rated products that'll help you reclaim your garden this spring — while still letting the squirrels go about their business elsewhere.

Squirrels are relentless, but with the right products in your arsenal, you can at least tip the odds in your favor. My top picks from this list are the motion-activated deterrents, as they tend to be the most effective without requiring constant effort on your part.

Just remember, no product is going to be 100% squirrel-proof (these are some seriously determined animals), but combining a few of these should make a noticeable difference.
