We're plagued by all kinds of critters - big and small.
Way back - when I had a small garden - the squirrels/cats were a nuisance.
Anway, any animal uses its sense of smell. I used to get "very hot chili" (that's what the package said) powder from an Indian food store, mix it with DE and sprinkle it around the perimeter. After a rain I would re-apply.
They do not like to smell it - after a good month of doing that - I never had anyone wander around again for the season.
Now that my operation is much bigger and on acreage I use Plantskydd - it works wonders even on deer.
