8. Since posting this, I've been to Walmart and Lowe's -all the stores in my small town. They

neither one had anything. I will order from Amazon today and should get it by Monday. In the meantime. I have hung strips of aluminum foil the best I could. Hope that will act as a deterrent until I can buy the real thing.

I was VERY glad to hear that it didn't scare the squirrels away. I feed ours bread and they are quite tame. I hate that I will not be able to feed the birds also.

I will keep my deterrents until next year, but am hoping since they didn't get much of a toe-hold in my yard before I discovered them, that maybe they won't be back.

Unfortunately, I live in Florida and I am afraid it would be an all year around problem.

Thanks so much for your help.
