Iv had squirrels only dig up my seedlings never touched the actual plant. I took chicken wire and covered the soil so they wernt able to dig anymore. kept them away and my seedlings safe.

i can say for sure if they were squirrels or chipmunks but something of that size did major damage last year, id see the see little scratch marks on the side of the buckets from their nails, and at first thought rabbits, because it was only on the lower branches, after all the nice green leaves were cleared from the bottom of most of my plants, i come back to find a few of my main crowns bent over and broke, with little scrapes and scratches on the main stem up to the crown, and squished bent down bud where it looked like they climed up. withh the evidence i saw and multiple similar occurances, i know it was something small enough to be crawling on my plants, my guess is squirrel or chipmunk bc i spotted alot in the area. they would climb all over them, break numerous branches, and eat as many of the leaves surrounding the bud as they could but wouldnt touch the bud.

You asked for barbed wire, you want chicken wire. Unless you have some big ass squirrels...

Both lowes and home depot sell chicken wire. Ask for chicken wire - not barbed wire. Would be quite the pain to string barbed wire close enough to keep out squirrels. Every construction/ag store I've ever visited sold chicken wire. Most anyplace that sells medium to large quantities of stucco will also sell it.

I hate the fucking squirrels too! They dug up some of my expensive beans. Now I shoot every last one of them I see with a pellet gun. I've noticed that there are way more females than male squirrels. About 7/1 So kill as many males as possible so they cant reproduce anymore. Did i mention those little bastards dug up some expensive beans?
