Having successfully beaten back the June and flea beetles (with Ortho
Sevin), I find myself trying to keep the squirrels away from the
developing ears of corn.  Two things I'm trying: strips of aluminum
foil or tin pans strung around the garden, and cayenne (red pepper)
shaken onto the developing ears (especially around the silks).
Anybody with any other ideas and experience in this area?  I'd hate to
lose my corn now, especially as some of the plants have turned out to
grow quite well - over eight feet high!  Thanks.--
