Mint also keeps the squirrels away~ It's an easy perma fix if you have them digging holes in your garden. I have some all over my yard in 1 gallon containers.

Good to know. So they stay away from the smell or something?

I've had trouble with them eating my wife's tulip bulbs once in awhile, that could be just the deterrent I'm looking for.

Of course you have to keep the mint under control or it'll end up worse than the squirrels.

Atleast it smells good if you let it get out of control. Yeah squirrels are notorious for digging up bulbs.
