Critters eatin my pumkins Clarifcation

[kancho14]

Thank you for you suggestions on how to keep squrriles, groundhogs, chipmunks and birds away from my pumkins. I almost forgot this was an international auidence when I posted my question!! This is to clarify that my pumkins are not from a crop...The one's I'm trying to save are within my landscaping in front of my house as decoration....(I think I am going to try that black cat idea though!! Perfect for the Holloween Holiday!!!)...Thanks!!! And if anyone else has any ideas I would appreciate it...By the way I read somthing about a HOT CHILI PEPPER SPRAY...can't seem to find it anywhere though any ideas anyone?

There's an electronic device called Go'pher-It (love that name!)that will repel all of your visitors - or Fox Urine in powder form that will do exactly the same thing. Have a look at this site and see what you think? http://web.ask.co.uk/redir?bpg=http%3a%2f%2fweb.ask.co.uk%2f web%3fq%3ddeterring%2bgroundhogs%2bsquirrels%2band%2bchipmun ks%26o%3d0%26page%3d1&q=deterring+groundhogs+squirrels+and+c hipmunks&u=http%3a%2f%2ftm.ask.co.uk%2fr%3ft%3dan%26s%3da%26 uid%3d01B969AC5365BA614%26sid%3d19C85638C10CEA614%26qid%3d19 EFBC07BBF5E241AE2CFD05BD37F1AC%26io%3d0%26sv%3dz6f065bd2%26o %3d0%26ask%3ddeterring%2bgroundhogs%2bsquirrels%2band%2bchip munks%26uip%3d3e40cb84%26en%3dte%26eo%3d-100%26pt%3dSPFS%2bC ontrolling%2bAnimals%26ac%3d6%26qs%3d0%26pg%3d1%26ep%3d1%26t e_par%3d102%26te_id%3d%26u%3dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.snow-pond.com% 2fanimctrl%2fctrlanim.html&s=a&bu=http%3a%2f%2fwww.snow-pond .com%2fanimctrl%2fctrlanim.html&qte=0&o=0&rb=0

I did some searching and found that hot pepper spray i read about on this site that was "coming out".  It's only for squrriles though and it's called ScootSquirrel...here's the site below.....

Ordinary chilli powder is sure fire for squirrels & cheap too. It also works when planting spring bulbs, crocus etc, just dip the bulb in chilli powder when planting & you will have a great show in the spring. Works every time....Spinner
