Despite our reverence for wildlife, many of our most favorite species raise havoc in lawns and gardens from city to suburbia. This book solves backyard problems with squirrels, raccoons, deer, crows, insects and a host of other "pests" who raid backyard bird feeders and garbage cans, nest in chimneys, eat shrubbery, dig holes and tunnels in lawns, and attack garden foliage. Harrison, award-winning nature writer, photographer, book author and consultant, provides a natural history of squirrels and other problem critters so that readers can better understand the enemy. Informative tips, devices and methods are explained that will lead to a peaceful coexistence with all animals, great and small.
