Squirrel Nuisance?

My mother has had this problem for a couple of years and she doesn't know what to do so I'm hopeing someone on here can give her some good advice. Her neighbors has a lot of trees and a lot of squirrels. The problem she is having is the squirrels are coming to her house and chewing the wood on the porch, tearing up the wood. Does anyone know of anything that she can use to discourage the squirrels from doing this. Killing them is not an option since she lives in the city. Thank you for your answers and any help.Squirrel Nuisance?
Squirrel attack the edges/corners first right?


Buy some atomic hot sause or pepper based product and wipe onto edges where they like to chew-the chewed areas should have exposed grain and the sause will soak in-if done carefully and sparingly it should not look bad!!!Squirrel Nuisance?
You could try placing a fake owl nearby.


Another option would be an electric ultra sonic pest deterent, available at the hardware store. These are meant for mice and rats, but should work on squirrels.

I had a problem with squirrels getting into my bird feeder and connected low voltage wires to their acsess. this worked for me and also keeps raccoons out but ahouse is on avery much larger scale so just an idea.
sprinkle cayenne pepper around everywhere it doesnt harm them it just keeps theem away
