Last year within 2 weeks after I planted tomato plants, Groundsquirrels ate all of my plants within 2 weeks of planting them. This is a serious problem.

This IS a serious problem. It will take, consistent, battling to keep these guys away. My BEST recommendation is predator urine. Fox and coyote work well. It will take continuous treatment, though.

You could try feeding them in a different area, as well. This can help deter them from your garden, and keep them where you want them.
