There was a "fox urine" product I tried before, it worked, but it's incredibly expensive. I'll stick to the water gun, and the traffic out front is helping flatten a few as well!

Why ammonia when the hose will do as well? They are doing what they are programmed to do. They don't know they are hurting your screen.

Someone said to add a teaspoon of ammonia just because they don't like the smell. I don't spray them with it - just the screen and the ground around the screen. It seems to work?

Oh. Glad to hear it. Ammonia would really burn their eyes. Sometimes those squirrels make me so aggravated but........especially the Ohio ones who would eat the bird food. I guess they are doing that because they are hungry. I am grumpy today.
