Answer check-mate the antskeep a spill tray below the pot filled with water. IN ADDITION:Check with the local gardening supply stores near you and see if they carry diatomaceous earth. It looks like tan flour. Sprinkle this near the base of any plant or make a circle with it around around the base of the pot. Ants will not cross it. Ants have segmented bodies and diatomaceous earth, if vieved under a microscope, looks like a porcupine. The ants get poked by these in between their segments and soon learn to avoid it alltogether.

Squirrels in fact do not like metal, (aluminum, copper) your best chance of survival is aluminum foil around the stems of plants, trees etc. Bulbs can be protected by copper nails(if they still make them). Metal Fencing around your garden might really train these little guys to stay away.

It's difficult to chase away wildlife from a food source. One way's to plant what they don't like, such as poinsettia. The color red can be a poisonous-to-eat warning that's recognized by wildlife, but necessarily by children and pets. Another way's to lure them to another spot with a squirrel feeder. And another's to have pets that are allowed to go outside, or that aren't kept inside. Particularly larger dogs can be intimidating, and even fatal, to squirrels.

U Scram works really good and it lasts a long time. We swear by this stuff. uscram.com , also sold on Amazon. Just put one of these cork shaped trees soaked in essential oils into your pot or flower area, and watch chipmunks vanish.

TRY MOTH BALLS 1 - 2 ft apart or less as a boarder along flower beds, or a couple inches apart in flower pots.

I've had the BEST LUCK WITH THESE. RE-APPLY after they melt from the rain. Do this for about 2 months. That'll get you through their season.

They do smell but they worked the best for me. (The smell does subside.)

Apparently ammonia sprinkled on some old fabric will deter them. However, I'd be worried about the smell spoiling one's enjoyment of the flowers.
