I am not sure what actually stripped the bark--chipmunks, squirrels, mice etc. but I could put a few traps out too..cant hurt. I have a small dog so I dont want to use any type of poison.
I use a sheet metal cutter and get about 3 - 4 cm per cut.I have a pet snake that loves thrashing things. I don't blame it.
I bought some galvanized metal mesh and made a couple cages for some plants that overwinter in the terrarium.
It's difficult to cut, so if you plan on using it, do(!) buy a plate metal cutting scissor. Because cutting a single wire every 0.5cm for about a meter is painstaking work.
Can I borrow cat #1?!?!Pretty accurate^^^^
One of our cats eats only rabbits, squirrels and rodents, voles, mice etc.
The other cat has a taste for poultry.

or how about a spray from bonide
This is a good product but natural products like this do not always work for extended periods. Trick is to get it down early and reapply more frequently than recommended. I use Fox & Coyote Urine Granules. Itn active season pure peppermint oil works well sprayed about once a week or so.a more general spray from Bonide that is safe for pets and people..would spraying during the winter harm the trees
