Make Homemade Squirrel
Repellent For Plants
If you keep a vegetable garden on your property and live near or in a wooded area, keeping squirrels away can be a daunting task without using a repellent on your plants. Certain commercially available repellents designed to keep squirrels away compose of widely available natural chemicals. Mixing your own squirrel repellent and applying it in and around your vegetable garden will enable you to save money instead purchasing commercial products. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Pour a small bottle of hot sauce into a 1-gallon jug of water. Add one teaspoon of mild dish soap to the 1-gallon bottle mixture of hot sauce and water. Replace the cap on the water jug and shake until the ingredients are fully mixed.
2. Place a funnel inside the opening of a spray bottle. Pour the homemade repellent into the spray bottle, being careful not to spill. Screw the sprayer attachment on the spray bottle container.
3. Lightly mist your vegetable plants with the repellent. Spray a liberal amount of repellent to the outside perimeter of your garden for added protection against squirrels.
4. Crush up highly scented soap and place in several mesh bags. To ward off squirrels, tie the bags securely with twine and hang them up on tree branches, fence posts or any other key areas around the garden.
