I made this non toxic pest repellent to get rid of Squirrley Joe. We had a lovely relationship until he invited friends that began digging up my back garden. With just three ingredients and water, you too can make this, but as the scent of the garlic and the cayenne pepper is what keeps pests at bay, it's best to make this as needed. Simply make and spray around your garden. Can also help deter pests like ants, root maggots some and some beetles, and four legged garden destroyers like cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, foxes and deer. You can make it stronger if you need too, or even boil the mix, and then cool and strain before using, but this is a fast and simple fix. Just remember that it will need to be reapplied every few days and especially after rain, but three days after I started using it, Squirrley Joe who had been a constant visitor at my back window, often multiple times a day, found someone else's patch to dig up. So I may get a few lilies this year , instead of surprise peanut plants.

It's the same thing used in riot control by the police. The people of a certain city in Wyoming and a NA tribe will disagree. It will permanently disable a police dog's career if they get a good whiff.

I don’t have anything against squirrels and in a park situation I have been known to feed them peanuts, however but this is a non-toxic way of keeping them out of the garden. If the choice is between a natural irritant or toxic chemicals I’m gonna go natural. Although they are cute, let’s face it they are rodents with pretty privilege And they are not innocent. Russian squirrels, travel in packs and have been known to attack larger animals removing chunks of their flesh.Red squirrels have been known to invade another squirrel’s homes kill or eat their family and then try to mate with the squirrel who’s family they’ve just destroyed. Grey squirrels will invade birds nests and eat whatever chicks or eggs they find and 20% of fires in the US are caused by squirrels eating through electrical wires. I’ve had first-hand experience with this, having just had to have FiOS replace cable that the squirrel chewed through. The amount that I am using or not the concentrate used in riot spray. I seriously doubt you could make a version that strong without distilling the cayenne. The strength of this recipe is enough to keep squirrels at bay and generally dissipates within a few days which is why you have to reapply especially if it rains, But much like Pavlov’s dog the idea is they smell it they stay away they don’t return to your yard or veggie patch.

It's a vermin and needs to be eradicated.. Rat poison mixed with peanut butter works well too..
