Damage Done By Squirrels

​At last. A great development. Thank you Charlie. My problem is damage done by squirrels. A black walnut tree just off our property attracts all sorts of squirrels which then try to bury nuts in the green. I have tried chili powder to no avail. Anyone with humane solutions? Secondly, we have a roller and a verticutter for sale. Both are in good working order but not used in 2018 because we received a grant to buy new equipment. Any interests?

Hi Ted,
We have the same problem at Burlington. What we do is have a mixture of seeds and sand ready at all times and fill the holes as they occur and fill the holes level to the playing surface. I don’t believe that you could get rid of them that easily. I know it a problem but it is against the law to trap them. So we have to co-exist.Hope this helps.
Charles
