Squirrels and other wildlife can cause significant damage to your outdoor furniture through chewing, scratching, and nesting behaviors. Fortunately, several effective strategies can help protect your investment. Start by using natural repellents such as peppermint oil, cayenne pepper, or commercial animal repellent sprays around your furniture. These create unpleasant scents that deter animals without harming them. Physical barriers provide excellent protection - consider installing metal flashing around furniture legs, using protective covers when furniture isn't in use, or placing chicken wire around the base of your furniture. Remove food sources that attract animals by keeping your outdoor area clean of fallen fruits, nuts, and bird seed. Motion-activated sprinklers or ultrasonic devices can startle animals away from your furniture area. For persistent problems, commercial taste deterrents applied directly to furniture surfaces can discourage chewing. Regular maintenance and inspection of your outdoor space will help identify potential animal activity early. Combining multiple approaches typically yields the best results in keeping squirrels and other animals from damaging your outdoor furniture throughout all seasons.
