How do I stop squirrels from beheading my flowers??

They beheaded my tulips and now my gerber daisy's. I am getting so upset that I want to buy a pellet gun. HELP!!

How do I stop squirrels from beheading my flowers??
Those bassterds! They're doing the same thing to my Pansies! I heard that you can plant some sort of ball that deters them from digging, maybe cedar?
Reply:Sprinkle a good amount of regular black pepper around them. You can buy a pepper based critter repellant from home improvement stores but it's price and, of course, made with red pepper. Black is less expensive than red. It works to keep cats out of my garden. They were using it for a potty!
Reply:Cayenne pepper mixed with vaseline on a tree trunk with a feeder above. 90 percent chance they will get a good dose of red hot and beat a trail out....for awhile....you know small brain..short memory. May have to repeat this until they get the picture,at least this worked on the militant squirrels in my yard. They snatched their last Snapdragon,I hope.

Good Luck. Ed.S.
