Of course the secret is peanuts. And having a good stock of peanuts is good for preventing the squirrels you feed from raising hades and threatening to come through your patio doores.
Yes, peanuts are the answer - but now I have an especially aggressive peanut-loving squirrel who is making it dangerous for me to sit on my porch.
He appears from nowhere and approaches like a kamikaze - it’s scary!
Lol!
