Anyone trouble with squirrels on lanai sreen?
Any solution? Thanks

[cquick]

sorry, there is no solution.....birds and squirrels like to run on the screen roofs.

I spray them with a super soaker.

Because they'll be poisoned or blind... do you really want to do that?

Assuming you have a tree they like, is that true?

[jallseg]

Yes. No way to remove. Trimming has not helped.

We have same problem. We even bought one of those things that emits high pitched frequency sound to make them go away. Now the squirrels still play on the tree and my dogs won't go in the back yard... (It said dogs can't hear it, it was wrong)

A more humane suggestion, taken from Tal's link. However it might be hard to do unless you back on open space or have a big lot.

(Local squirrels visit our birdcage occasionally, but they have never caused any damage.).

"Give squirrels a reason to go somewhere else. Squirrels go nuts for peanut butter and sunflower seeds. So, you might want to provide a nice little oasis with a bird bath for water and a feeding station, so the critters will tend to congregate there instead."

[Carl in Tampa]

I have had squirrels romping on the screen enclosing my pool for 30 years. The only time they did any damage was when I left containers of bird seed on my pool deck; they gnawed a small hole through the screen to get to the food.

I have grown to enjoy their antics...... and I never leave food on the pool deck.

Enjoy and appreciate the wildlife.

Put a feeder in your yard and they will stay off your screens.

they'll probable not be back because it's nasty. So nice of you to assume the worst though. Wouldn't be planet earth without someone jumping to conclusions.

Fred, since wasp spray is intended to kill wasps on contact, I think it's safe to assume wasp spray would blind or poison a squirrel.
As Carl in Tampa wisely said "enjoy and appreciate the wildlife".
