Answer
If squirrels are a nuisance, you may have to cover your squash plantings with netting. Creating a tripod of stakes around the plants and then draping the netting should keep them out. The netting at the base should be weighted down or secured to keep them from crawling under. Spraying Messina Squirrel Stopper around the vegetables would be the second line of defense.
