Squirrels regularly climb up to my second-story deck to dig in my plants (but not actually attacking the plants) and tear at the fabric grow pots I have my potatoes in (they dug UP the potatoes in the past, but never actually chewed on them.) I have a layer of pine cones on top of all the pots where they\'ll fit, they won\'t fit in all my pots & they\'re still chewing on the fabric grow pots. It isn\'t dry (last week we had 7\" of rain,) I use a (mostly successful) liquid deer repellent in my front yard but I don\'t want to SMELL that stuff when we sit on our deck. I think I want some sort of powerful capsaicin spray, I\'m angry enough to try Bear Spray (but I know better.) HELP!!!!!
