Redclay--Your suggestion is a particularly un-sportsmanlike and gruesome
one. And, by the way, who made you the great squirrel psychologist? Maybe
they *do* want the moisture????

Squirrels are swiping all my tomatoes before they have a chance to start
getting ripe. There's nothing around here that eats squirrels, and we
can't shoot 'em. Is there a way to keep them away from the tomatoes?

Trap them with the Hav-a-Hart but do not let them go. Shot them in the
trap using a pellet rifle and bury the damn things around your roses and
irises. Squirrels are not looking for water or anything else; they are
just nipping them. Putting out other food will just draw more of them.
Trap, shoot and bury.
