Squirrely spice
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Squirrels are cute in theory, but they can be highly disruptive to a garden. Today, challenge yourself to solve your squirrel infestation problem by sprinkling cayenne pepper in the soil surrounding the plants in question. (Squirrels are known to dislike the spice, and it doesn’t hurt the plants.) Tip: Some swear by the added power of garlic, and will add granulated garlic to their cayenne mix.

We also use paprika for our rodent problems. We live in the hill of Tennessee so squirrels aren’t that common. We more often see deer. Human hair works best for them. The other problem we have are insects. The spices work for some of them. That is actually what we use it most for.
