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.

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.
