Default Fuzzy Little Jerk

This little weenie and his friends completely devoured the bark of this tree in my front lawn, and now it's dead and falling over and we need to get a new tree. The photo's fine, I just need suggestions on how to keep squirrels from eating my tree.

Pure effin' evil.

Buy a BB gun? Buy traps to trap them? Or maybe just lay out some food for them. If you feed them, they have no reason to eat your tree. On top of that, you can get some cute pictures of them while they eat. =]

I've never heard of a squirrel eating the bark of a tree. Maybe it's coming off when he goes up and down. Anyway I know they don't like cayenne pepper. You could put some around the bottom of the tree. Don't hurt him, he's just trying to survive.
