Chewed a hole right through the top and now I keep finding remnants strewn across the lawn. Any ideas of keeping them at bay?

Other than thick steel reinforcements, no. They can chew their way through most things little devils. They do look sweet though...

Definitely squirrels! I did worry it was rats to start with so was relieved to see they were in fact squirrels. The ones I caught were speedy little critters. Think they'd enjoyed my morning coffee grounds! grin
Not terribly happy about my compost bin lid though. Can't very well replace it - and even if I could I'd probably have to do so regularly.
