Wildlife Repellent Recipe

by Carol Martino

Ingredients:

• 1  whole Spanish onion
• 1 jalapeno pepper
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

• Chop up the onion and the pepper.
• Mix and boil in 2 quarts of water for about 20 min.
• Let cool, and strain the water through a cheesecloth.

Using a garden sprayer, spray any area outside where wild animals or even neighborhood pets are nuisances.   This probably will not work for birds (birds do not have a sense of smell.)   This process may have to be carried out for two weeks to ensure success.   This mixture is non-toxic, and it will not harm any animal but will succeed in keeping them away.
