Growing Peppers and Blueberry plants on my deck

[SanPatricio]

[font=comic sans ms']I am growing in containers on my deck for protection from our fearless deer.[/font]
[font=comic sans ms']Total success on the deer BUT..... Now that the berrys are ripe and the pepper pods are showing color, the squirrels are all over them.[/font]
[font=comic sans ms']It is illegal to shoot in our city (even with a pellet rifle!) so I am looking for another way to [/font][font=comic sans ms']deter them. I came across this special [/font]method for feeding them......

Yup. They stay away from all my plants on the deck, maybe it is cause I feed them

I have some swiss chard on my deck that a groundhog gets to. I am happy to grow some food for it, and don't mind sharing

Besides, I'm sure some of your peppers will go good in some squirrel stew. ; )

No, I didn't make it, but it's just a wood platform bolted to a
simple trap thrower.

Shoot that Damn Squirell no one Will ever know

 

[geeme]

I got something called Critter Ridder. It's basically crystal capsaicin and black pepper mixed together. The squirrels, groundhogs, chipmunks, skunks, deer, etc., stay away. Stuff stinks, but that's not a bad thing.

 

[ThePepperManiac]

shoot it with a air rifle they will never hear the shot

 

[Beelzeboss]

If Bugs Bunny taught me nothing else, it's that putting a wig and lipstick on a lit stick of dynamite can solve all of your problems.

water sprinkler hooked up to a motion detector...when they come in the range of the detector, the water turns on and squirts them....works for cat's too and animals will be harmed...
