Iv'e use loads of propriatory brands from the garden centre but they still keep coming.
I know squirrells are cute but they eat everyting in my garden. How can I stop them?
No kill method: Give them their own food (corn and nuts will drive them away from your garden, as they crave carbos and fats more). There's dried corn you can get just for them.
Trap method: get a pet trap cage and put the food in there (peanut butter; bird seut or better corn cobs). Trap the squirrel and take it elsewhere (like in the country).
Pest control method: believe it or not, the bug men are trained to solve squirrel problems (e.g., house squirrels are difficult to get rid of, so they set up traps and release the squirrels elsewhere away from homes). They can also setup bait traps, too. But poison has other consequences -- birds and cats eat squirrels and both can die from eating their natural food source.
Kill method: have a garden cat. My cats kill every critter that comes near the garden (and this is especially needed if you grow any high carb plant -- corn/potatoes/peas).
Had a problem with squirrels that they'll dance off the trees in search of food in our 30x20 foot garden. Cats took care of that, not even birds will touch the berries now.

If you go to your local garden center, they sell a product called Liquid Fence. Its a liquid you spray the perimeter of your garden with and it will keep all kinds of rodents along with deer away from your garden. And it only needs to be applied once every 6 weeks. I had a real problem with rabbits and this worked for me. Another solution I've heard, but I don't know if it works is to sprinkle pepper through out your garden, apparently most animals don't like the smell.
