1. Daffodils
Squirrels aren’t fans of daffodils. Their bright yellow blooms are a sign to these critters that they’d best keep away.
Plant some daffodils in your garden, and you’ll find it surprisingly effective at keeping squirrels at bay. Plus, they look lovely in spring!
Just plant the bulbs in the fall, and enjoy a squirrel-free garden when they bloom.
2. Alliums
Alliums, part of the onion family, have a strong smell that squirrels don’t love. These plants also have stunning purple globes that can make your garden look amazing.
Plant them around the borders of your garden or flower beds to create a natural, beautiful barrier that keeps squirrels away.
3. Fritillaries
Fritillaries have a unique look and a scent that squirrels find unpleasant. These bell-shaped flowers come in various colors and patterns.
They are not only a conversation starter but also a solid choice for squirrel-proofing your yard. Plant them in well-drained soil and in a sunny spot for best results.
4. Hyacinths
These fragrant blooms are a delight for humans but not so much for squirrels. Their sweet scent is just too intense for these little animals.
Hyacinths are easy to plant and care for, making them an excellent choice for deterring squirrels while adding color and fragrance to your garden in springtime.
5. Galanthus (Snowdrops)
Snowdrops are some of the first flowers to bloom in late winter or early spring. They have a distinct look with their small white petals, and guess what?
Squirrels avoid them. Plant these hardy little flowers in clumps for a natural look, and enjoy a bit of early color in your garden while keeping those pesky squirrels away.
