Squirrels attack my pumpkins
I got a couple of pumpkins for my porch a week or so ago, and they slowly got little bits taken out of them day by day. Then, yesterday I caught a squirrel munching on them. I would really like to put a bunch of pumpkins on the porch, but don't want to have a bunch of moldy pumpkins with holes all through them on my porch.
Anyone know of any way to deter a squirrel. Hopefully without poison or a pellet gun.

I highly recommend Critter Ridder.
My neighbour had racoons in her back porch practically every other night until she got this and now she swears by it.

Hey,
GO to your local hardware store or Radio shack and get one of those electronic pet devices that run them off with sound waves, it works, last for years, is safe and cheap...

I am answering this question for one reason: It's a creative break from the same old boring questions that plague this site. I think you could either use beer (i heard of this on tv) or just get an airsoft gun which shoots plastic projectiles which can't harm the animals.

Kinda like what the first person said, but i think hot pepper or peppers cut in half would do well. It will irritate the squirrels alot, just like curry powder would. So would pretty much any other spicy or salty seasoning

You know squirrels like nuts so put a squirrel feeder in your front and backyard. So then they'd have somthing to chew on other then your pumpkins.

Sprinkle them with curry powder. I'm not 100% this will work, but it's discouraged other small animals away from my vegtables before and it seems worth a shot...
