I bought a box of 6 exhibit quality rubber rattlesnakes from Ebay. They have worked to keep the squirrels and birds away from my garden swing and pool items. When the wind blows the tail rattles. We occassinally change their position to keep the animals guessing. So far no squirrel has been willing to take the chance...
