I have a screened in front porch that is continually being attacked by black squirrels ! I'm sick of replacing screen from claws and nibbling. Anybody have any suggestions for keeping them away ?

I too was plagued by squirrels. If you live in the country and not in town, the best solution is a patio chair, a 22 caliber gun & a little bit of patience. We only had to drop a few before the rest caught on.:D

Thanx Louise ! Have since moved out of city, where the squirrels were , to the country , where the damn deer are feasting on my newly planted Colorado Spruces .Why do all the animals want to eat my Stuff !! At least I can eat the deer !
Should have screened them in (the trees) :D

To a deer, a newly planted Colorado Spruce is a treat, just like candy to a (human) kid. Not to change your landscaping, but you might try Oleander. Deer won't touch that stuff! (Kinda like most vegtables to a kid.) Or, get a larger gun and fill the freezer. (Just don't get caught!!)
