Going squirrely?

Do the squirrels drive you nuts, digging in your flowerbeds, ripping up your tulip bulbs?
Here's a non-toxic recipe that should make them run!
In a hand spray bottle mix:
a few shots Tabasco sauce
1 tsp. chili powder
1 pint of water
dash of dish soap
Shake well and apply to bulbs when planting.
The other option is to plant spring bulbs, such as bright daffodils, unique alliums, fragrant hyacinths, and fabulous Fritillaria, that the furry creatures turn their noses up at. The deer are also deterred from these flowers, passing them over for the neighbour's tulips.
