This is bizarre. I redid our landscaping last year and as part of this the sprinkler system was replaced. Now squirrels are digging up the rubber lines and shredding them to pieces. I have tried spraying predator urine (fox, coyote) around the area to scare them off, but they won't let up.

Our neighbors on either side also have sprinkler lines and the squirrels don't seem to be interested in their lines. So it must be the type of line that was installed that has them interested. But I can't figure out why and I don't know what to do other than dig the entire system up and reinstall new lines made of a different material.

Any advice?

(I am in Denver, Colorado in an urban area. It is definitely squirrels doing the damage because I have caught them doing it. No rabbits or other critters.)

1. Securing our borders

2. Protecting American jobs

3. Racism and Xenophobia

We would spend 2-3 weeks at the locations. South Africa would involve visits to Capetown, Victoria Falls, game reserves, and Johannesburg. Or if we choose South America, we would spend it in Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia and then a week or so on a cruise to Antartica and tracking Shackleton's journey.

My wife and I are experience travelers and young/active. We tend to stay in more upscale facilities but have no problem getting off the beaten track to see something spectacular. (Last year we spent two weeks on a riverboat in Cambodia seeing the rural countryside. It is highly recommended!)

People with experience in both locations would be particularly appreciated.

Thanks!
