Rub the outside of the pumpkin with hot pepper. (powdered cayenne mixed with a little vegetable oil works best) squirrels hate the smell of the pepper and will leave it alone.
Hot pepper flakes or powder mixed with your birdseed will also keep them out of bird feeders, and birds love the pepper seeds, so it’s a double win for them.
