We only have Gray Squirrels here in Florida and they don't seem to be destructive, other than once in awhile burying peanuts that are still in the shells. I now only add a handful of shelled nuts to the seed mix. I enjoy watching the squirrels running around and playing but don't get me started Armadillos! As cute as the little ones are, they drive me crazy with the holes they dig all over the property as they're searching for insects and grubs! They are mostly nocturnal but we sometimes see them during the daytime. Armadillo's have poor eyesight and when approached will suddenly jump and scurry off into the brush.
