Hot Pepper Repellent
Recipe
- One chopped yellow onion
- One chopped Jalapeno pepper
- One tablespoon of Cayenne pepper
Boil ingredients for 20 minutes in two quarts of water. Let it
cool and then strain it through cheesecloth. You can apply this
with a pesticide sprayer or a spray bottle.
This will deter just about any animal from an area where it is
applied. The only draw back is that it only lasts for three to
five days.
The "Magic" Formula
- 8 oz. of any liquid dish soap
- 8 oz. of Castor Oil
- 1 gallon of water
Mix the Castor Oil and soap well. Be sure that it is mixed thoroughly
then add it to one gallon of water and spray the entire area.
This is a simple and safe recipe and is supposed to work very
well for many mammals.
"Scarecrow"
This is a motion-activated water "sprinkler." It shoots
a 3-second blast of water when motion is sensed. It uses 2 cups
of water each time it sprays and has a daylight sensor. It is
manufactured by Contech Electronics. Some local area garden and
hardware stores carry it.
This works especially well for squirrels, raccoons, deer, etc.
