What scents or other things that deter squirrels from my garden?

I just put up a garden fence, but I'd also like to know more tricks that will scare off squirrels thanks

What scents or other things that deter squirrels from my garden?
2 tbsp. of cayenne pepper

2 tbsp. of hot sauce

2 tbsp. of chili powder

1 tbsp. of Murphy's Oil soap

1 qt. of warm water



Mix these ingredients in a bucket, then pour the mixture into a hand-held sprayer. Shake well, then coat all of plants from top to bottom to let bother-some critters know they're not welcome.
Reply:I know some people who go to local Beauty Shops or Barber shops and asks for the hair clippings to sprinkle around and in the garden to keep Deer out, it might work for other animals and most times it's free.



Hope this helps.
Reply:Marigolds deter rabbits. They don't like the smell.
Reply:Try sprinkling moth balls around the area.
