1.0 out of 5 stars
A misleading title for a not-very-useful book, April 16, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Squirrel Proofing Your Home & Garden (Paperback)
I have a serious squirrel problem at home and thought this book would help. All it did was tell me how nice, brave, smart and resourceful squirrels are. In fact, the first 3/4 of the book is devoted to very complete descriptions of various breeds of squirrels. If you want to learn about squirrels, this is actually a good resource. The 'squirrel proofing' advice, when it does come, is restricted to a few pages at the end of the book -- and really doesnt tell you anything common sense or a 10 minute search of the web will. It didn't help my situation at all.

Disappointing for Ideas in Protection, August 6, 2006
This review is from: Squirrel Proofing Your Home & Garden (Paperback)
Ms. Poe clearly has a thorough understanding of squirrels. In fact, you can sense a great appreciation for the smart litter critters which comes across in the book. Unfortunately, if you are a gardener looking for new and inventive ways to protect your investment from being ravaged by squirrels, this book definitely falls short. If you want to learn all about squirrels and identify just which species is attacking your flowers, then this book is for you. (In fact over half the book is dedicated to just this subject.) And unless you want the same, tired, ineffective tips and advice freely available on the internet, this book is not worth the investment.
