Warning: A squirrel chewed through a brand new cedar post in under a week

I installed a nice 6-foot privacy fence in a backyard in Springfield last Tuesday. Came back this morning for a final walkthrough and found a post with a hole the size of a golf ball, full of acorn shells. The homeowner said she saw a squirrel working on it every afternoon. Has anyone else had a pest problem ruin fresh wood that fast, and what do you do about it?

My neighbor in St. Louis wraps his posts with hardware cloth, seems to work.

Hardware cloth seems like a lot of work, @noah917. Are the bugs in St. Louis really that bad?
