How To Keep Squirrels And Chipmunks From Eating Early Growing Vegetables

Question From: S. Marcus - MICHIGAN
Q: Could you please give me the mix to spray early growing vegetables to prevent squirrels and chipmunks from having lunch in my yard. I copied it last year but I lost it, sorry! Thanks

A:

Silvia, I did not write about a homemade potion for these animals. The blood based Plantskydd Rabbit And Small Critter Repellant( granules or Liquid Fence Granules also available in spray form) are said to work. I live in the country and my cats keep these pesky critters away from my house. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.



Q: Thanks, but I live in the suburbs and the cats do not do their job. I remember two of the ingredients, red hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Perhaps you know about it.

A:

There are all kinds of recipes using hot stuff. Do a google search for the particulars. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
