baby squirrel eating banana

We live in the country here in northern Alabama, so there are a lot of squirrels all over. We have several bird feeders, and the squirrels love to get into the bird feeders and eat the sunflower seeds, and they spill the smaller seeds that they don't eat.
I keep the bird seed in the carport, and stored in a heavy plastic locked container .

Well, those little rascals ate their way through the plastic, and made a squirrel hole into the bird seed ! Now, they just slip in and out of there at will and enjoy the food buffet .
I enjoy the squirrels, but I want some seeds left for the the cardinals as well, so I am going to have to move the food onto the back porch and put duct tape on the hole.
Hopefully, the dogs will deter the squirrels from eating all the birdseed once it is on the porch, and they can go back to raiding the bird feeders for their snacks.
