Your cayenne capers are correct, might not also the rinds of discarded citrus fruits help, these being immune to the atmospheric transmogrifications of the Great Ones?

I was going to suggest the citrus rinds, too...thankfully our problem here isn't so much squirrels, but deer. There's an easy solution for that, too: marigolds and mums. They can't stand them!

Think in terms of a board with nails. A puddy tat. Two Jack Russells! They'll clean out the neighborhood of the ferocious tree rats. As a last resort, there is my cousin's wife, Tex.... :sniper: She snuffed an elk once for peeking in her window! A couple of likered up Apaches almost bought the farm. :2guns:

In the ole days they would have met Sturm Ruger in my back yard as well...

 

I wish the resident kitties would do something but the squirrels seem to have the upper hand somehow.

 

I will try the citrus if the cayanne doesn't make the message clear.

Well, did your stuff work? Do I have to give Tex a jingle for an appointment? Since she is a card carrying, gun toting member in very good standing of PETA, and if you have enough varmints, mightn't cost anything. If she is in the neighborhood - gratis.

The moldy lemon slices atop a fine dusting of cayenne seems to have them at bay currently. I don't know how long it will last though...

UPDATE:

 

It did last very long. The plants' soil are now both covered in a layer of pea pebbles.

 

I do however, have some lemon trees sprounting! They have been transplanted to their own pot.
