I'm looking for something to grow my pot planted tomato plants that will keep squirrels from stealing them. Would this work?

Keep squirrels out? YesKeep heat in? YesRemember this product is essentially a Hot House designed for winter use. I would caution leaving it zipped up on hot summer days in the full sun. Your tomato plants will become heat stressed.

I would say yes....has done very well for us and tomato plants seem to like it just fine.

It should, but on hot days I'd recommend opening it. That might let the squirrels in. It doesn't have a natural vent opening, but you could probably make one.

Not really. It's probably better than nothing, but it won't keep a great seal around the ground, and I think they could scurry right under. Also, the wind will probably blow this over a lot. It's pretty flimsy.

As long as it's not sprayed on vegetable. Spray around them, not on them. I bought it for ground squirrels and it worked for me.

I have not tried this for tomato seeds, but the smallest hole grid looks like it should hold back raspberry seeds, so it may work for you.

I bought it to scare squirrels from our Mango trees. It did not work for squirrels at all. Squirrels would sit right in front of it with one of my mangos. I would click the remote to sound the alarm and the squirrels just kept chomping..., no effect at all. Also, device kept sounding off when a little wind made some leaves move (even on least sensative setting). It absolutely does not work on squirrels. I cannot say it will work on birds but, based on how well it works on squirrels, I have my doubts.

It works fine for tomatoes... but the price range is more for other types of plants that you can actually profit off of.

That would work and poison bait is what I used to use. Switched to traps because of the high cost of the bait and that I didn't like the idea of the dead ones laying around. Were I used to have hundreds of squirrels 2 years ago I now only occasionally have one. The breeders are gone

It will keep them directly off the area you attach them to like eves and pitches of your roof ...you might block a path into your home but best to fix the entrance ...or an area they jump from a tree to the roof but they are not much af a deterrent to just keep them off ...you could also put them on the tree or along the top of a fence tp block a path to your house ...but squirrels are smarter than birds if they are in your home try fox urine crystals in a stocking they hate that and they will move on ... you can put that in the crook of a tree or in the attic or hanging from a string

Hi RebecaI think they could, but it is best for smaller birds, like chicadees. Also, if you have squirrels around, you would need some kind of clamp to keep them from dumping the seeds. Donna

Generally squirrels don't bother veggies or flowers...this product seems to attract Mexican squirrels which love hot sauce, that's my experience in bird feeders....moth balls spread on ground are an often used repellent...

I'm sure it will, I put it in my bird seed that was up on a pole, but, it definitely kept the squirrels away. Add more to spice up the seed, I'm sure the chipmunks won't like that.

I think it would work best if the feeder was mounted on a pole and the baffle were placed under it. It still works great that way for me because the squirrels can't get beyond it to the feeder. It's wonderful.

I haven't seen any squirrels try to get through my netting, however I doubt it would hold them back. I have seen squirrels chew through canvas before. I would recommend chicken wire for your container plants.

Hello Works great! We Mixed in a Sprinkling can and dripped along root zone and over leafs. We have lots of JUICY tomatoes only problem is the chipmunks and squirrels are sampling as soon as they get ripe! :0) Miracle grow is a great product! Good Luck!

Randy Squirrels are smart...I can bet they could open this container. It's good for in house storage. I would get something a little more secure.

Don't know. Mine keeps 98 percent of the birds off of my deck and porch, but every once-in-a-while I get a persistent bird that will try to walk around the spikes when its after a bug. Your squirrels might try the same thing to get at something that they want. I would say its better than having nothing at all though. Get a small box of the spikes and if they work you can always order more.

Don't know about the squirrels but we have good sized field rats that burry under our shed in the back and it gets them and kills 'em grave yard dead!!! Excellent trap.

This product was absolutely ineffective when I tried to use it to repel squirrels from a garden. I think it does nothing.
