Different situation, it's really a long shot, but I wonder if this would help in the squirrel department... I haven't had much problem with squirrels and my orchids, but avocados are a different story. Someone in my neighborhood claimed that one could deter the nasty creatures with a fake owl. (He even put a half-eaten avocado near his owl, photographed a squirrel looking at both, and leaving. I was very doubtful but the cost to try was low (like $10 on Amazon), certainly wasn't going to harm anything.. Amazingly, it worked very well for most of the season... hardly any got nibbled after I put that cheezy plastic owl in my tree. (Late season I had some raccoon damage, no way that I know to deter THOSE.) Now... perhaps squirrels in Lithuania are smarter than the ones in my yard. (Clearly mine are not very bright, so that's a low standard.) But maybe, just maybe, worth a try... at least it's non-toxic.
