Get a cheap radio with a plug in for an external speaker. Run a small wire
pair, 20 gauge will do, out to the patio and put a small loud speaker in a
weather resistant housing by the patio. You can get 2" loudspeakers that
will work for this. Tune the radio to a talk radio station where there are
people talking all the time, very little music. Varmints don't like people
near them

I did the above and it partially worked.... The station was 820 AM
in
Dallas where Mark Davis, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity are on
from 9am to 6pm......

The squirrels that were working hard and gathering nuts and storing
piles of them loved the station and hung around..

The squirrels that were stealing nuts from the others and tearing
up things in the yard went away......

I suppose you have to select the station to appeal to the audience
you want.....
