Hi Nery!
I use these from Gardener's supply:

They are great!!

We have a huge problem with squirrels here, and they've not bothered any hanging basket, or area that I have put these. Plus it is a humane option. (*wink) You can cut them in smaller pieces, or in the case of a hanging basket, you can round off the corners. Most anything can grow up in between the holes(just like chicken wire), and the brown color is quite camoflouged.) They also last a long, long time. Mine are four years old, and not photodegrading, yet. (Chicken wire will eventually rust out)

I use it for covering pots with seeds that need to stay outside over the winter to stratify, in hanging baskets when I first plant them(their previously favorite place to dig), and poke them in the ground any place that they seem to like to dig in(including areas with bulbs).

I love, love, love these.
