You're not serious? I have never seen a squirrel swim to get something, but outside that, they have all day to figure out how to get to something. It becomes a challenge for them if you try to keep them out of something that may be interesting. It may be interesting even if only because they can't get to it for a routine inspection. They are very curious, like cats.
I have that spray... Used it once before we had company, and I heard about it later..
Definitely poor timing.

My yard is like squirrel world. They like to dig in my trees in the fall and plant little surprises that come up in the spring. I have a couple seedlings coming up in my trops, elm I think.No such location existsat least outside of cages, and still inside the hobby.
I have much more problems with chipmunks chewing trees causing similar damage. Be on the lookout for those little bastards. They're sneakier than squirrels. Squirrels tend to nip of thin twigs and branches of maples to get at the sap. They tend not to chew on trunks.
That is why I use the granular form. I just sprinkle it around the bonsai benches.
I have the sliding door slightly open often for the cats. Once in a while a squirrel comes in. One was in here Monday inside the sunflower seed bag rustling around.
