SQUIRREL REPELLENT
They’’re cute and fun to watch but squirrels love to dig up your plants when burying their food stores. This repellent will NOT harm the animals. It is just distasteful to them. You can spray it on and around your flowers and they won’t go near them. You may have to re-apply it after watering or rain but it’s cheap to make. CAUTION: Don’t spray it at people or animals and wash your hands after use.
Supplies
Hot sauce- small bottle
Dish soap
Water
Spray bottle
Duct tape and marker for labelling
MIX
Empty half the bottle of hot sauce into your spray bottle. Add a squirt of dish soap and top up with water. Replace the spray cap and shake. Make a cautionary label.
SPRAY
Spray on and around your plants. Don’t spray when windy as it will sting your eyes badly. Also refrain from spraying edible plants before you harvest them.
