Bisjoe,

Thanks for all that info. I had a trapping license for raccoons for a while (ate ALL my Koi fish [who knew the wild life in Los Angeles would be such a problem ]). But I assume I could get a trapping license for Squirrels too. That's probably the legal way to do it. And the vector control or humane society kills them which makes that part easier.

The squirrels definitely hides nuts in the pots and then dig to find them. Why they chew the bark I don't know. They obviously didn't use it for nesting since all the bark was next to the tree. I seriously think they do it to annoy me. I am sure they even like when I chase them through the yard.

Building an enclosure is not an option unfortunately. It is unsightly and costly and just not an option for me.
