[Neighbors] Squirrels chewing/stripping bark of maple (and other ) trees

[liza urso]

Hi, neighbors-  I've seen evidence of this in my yard and in other yards throughout LJE recently.
There is a long post on NextDoor, stating that maples are particularly prone.
Suggested remedies:-"Repels All" spray from Lowe's-coffee grounds sprinkled around base of tree-Vicks VapoRub spread around areas they chew/strip-Peppermint oil or a mixture of habaners peppers or cayenne in oil.  Apply to trunk with a sponge mop head.
I'm about to hire vigilantes with weapons!!! Good luck to all of us!
