It doesn’t matter how good you are at growing vegetables in your garden or fruit trees in your orchard, critters, pests and diseases will almost always show up to ruin everything if you are not prepared. I have already shown you how to make homemade bug spray for gardens, homemade fungicide spray and diy liquid garden fence recipe. Are you familiar with this homemade squirrel repellent spray?
What I love about these homemade repellents, is that they are 100% all natural with no additional harmful chemicals that can affect your produce or the environment. This particular one only calls for 5 ingredients of which four of them are peppers of some sort. Why peppers you ask? Since squirrels have a strong sense of smell, anything with peppers especially cayenne pepper affects them big time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- cayenne pepper powder
- garlic cloves
- jalapeno pepper
- paprika
- water
- large stock pot
- large bowl
- strainer
- funnel
- empty spray bottle
- safety gloves
The best way to go about this is to first boil the water in the stock pot. Once boiled you can dump all the ingredients into the water, reduce the heat and leave to cook whilst covered for at least half an hour. Remove from the heat and allow to cool before straining the liquid. Use the funnel to transfer everything to the spray bottle.
How To Use? Simply spray around your garden beds every 2 days or so. After any rains make sure you spray again, even before 2 days are up. I also spray around my fruit trees and the solution does a good job of keeping the squirrels away! 🙂
