I live on the edge of a canyon in San Diego and there is a large population of animals, including squirrels. Squirrels come into my yard to feed but they don't bother my garden because I use physical barriers. In defense of squirrels, they alert me to the present of rattlesnakes, which there is also a large number of them. I know their alarm calls and see their tails move about so I know a snake is present.
