Hi! @papa-pepper, it probably would. But i think you should try a scarecrow. The squirrels are usually afraid on moving objects. The scarecrow can be made out of anything like unused clothings, rag etc. It involves wearing the clothings on a piece of wood and placing and erecting it on the field. Just like the fork, it can be more than one but at least it will show a movement sign as the wind blows and it will most probably scare them away.

Animals like squirrels can be very frustrating, especially when it deals with the destruction of what we've spent so much time to raise.

Much love!
