How to keep squirrels out of your pots

I grew in a area once that had a big problem with Rabbits and Squirrels. I used a 3 gal spayer and dumped 1 or 2 packets of Cayenne powder into it and doused the perimeter plants about once a week. It worked. The best thing though, is when a Coyote ate a Rabbit and the remains kept all the vermin away for a long time.
 
You could try a couple small bowels of rat poison. I wouldn't set it in your pots tho cause it might screw up the ph of your soil.

There you go, all you need is a coyote and a rabbit. :lol:
 
I was thinking you could deploy zombie squirrels, but what will they eat when their job is finished?

Squirrels?
 
Just rub their nuts in mashed up chili peppers.
Wait.

I know that if I was visiting somewhere and they rubbed my nuts in mashed Chilli's I wouldn't be back ... great idea
 
A decent hunting and fishing store might have some fox pee cover scent you can spray around your pots.  Might take them a week to figure out it's a ruse.
