Question

Squirrels Eating My Tomatoes

I heard about a mixtire of hot sauce and water used to deter squirrels from eating vegetables in my garden, what is the mixture?

Answer

There are many different recipes for homemade squirrel repellents out there they all basically consist of a spicy element and a liquid placed in a squirt bottle then sprayed about the garden. The common ingredients include; water, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, soap, vinegar and vegetable oil. Because squirrels eat with their nose first the goal is that smell of spices deters them from eating your vegetables. Here are a couple simple recipes: Grandma's Rodent Garden Repellant • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper (or hot sauce) • Equal parts water and white vinegar Pour in a spray bottle and shake to combine. Spray around the garden weekly, the mixture will wear off. Squirrel B-Gone • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper (or hot sauce) • Few drops of strong mint scented soap (peppermint preferably) • Water to fill spray bottle Pour in a spray bottle and shake to combine. Spray around the garden weekly, the mixture will wear off. How well these home remedies work is debatable but it’s worth a try. Also try sprinkling additional cayenne around the plants on the soil for an additional kick. Good Luck! Happy Gardening! Plant Life Online
