Are there any plants,herbs or flowers that squirrels hate?

I have found planting garlic, marigolds, and aromatic herbs nearby usually deters most animals and insects. Another option is to spray the plants with garlic spray. This can be purchased commercially or can be made at home by crushing a few cloves and mixing them with cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce. One other option is to mix 1 tbs. lemon ammonia and 1 tbs. dishwashing soap to one gallon of water. Spray liberally every few days for a couple of weeks. Not only will the smell prove offensive to the animals, but it will deter insects as well.





I have tried bloodmeal and mothballs to deter rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks. The bloodmeal seemed to work best, but it had to be reapplied after a rainfall. For me, this made it rather impractical given the size of my garden. But if the area is small, this is very effective.





Unfortunately, if all else fails, your only alternative is to either trap or destroy the animal(s). Havahart makes fine products in several sizes, which are highly effective, will not harm the animal, and is easy to use. Just use some apples and peanut butter for bait, and relocate the animal at least 1 mile from your home.





Garden centers sell quite a few commercial products which will deter pests. These include chemicals such as Ropel, or natural ones such as fox urine.





Finally, as a last option, most garden centers also sell poisons which are very effective, but highly toxic to both humans and pets. But I would try the safer, natural suggestions I gave before resorting to the harsher ones.

Reply:Try a row or two of hot peppers.
Reply:Squirrels don't like daffodils since the bulbs and foliage are poisonous.





I've heard that Fritillaria imperialis (another bulb) and Alliums (onion family) repel squirrels. The Fritillaria blooms are kind of stinky, so you wouldn't want to grow it too close to your bedroom, kitchen or living room window.





Squirrels seem to like everything else, but you could sprinkle the area with blood meal to keep squirrels away from your plants. The down side is that the blood meal smells and you will need to reapply after every rain. Plus side: it works and it's a natural fertilizer.
Reply:To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.Shoes
