Now that I've uncovered my garden ..and the tulips and daffs and even the lilies are showing their beautiful little heads ...
who do I see but Mr and Mrs SQUIRREL and even OPOSSUM tracks heading my way digging them up for a tasty mid winter treat ?!!
so I need a cheap n sleazy low cost preferably irritating and very gooey concoction I can smear on my fences that will get on their lil paws and which they wont be able to lick off easily and which will make them not want to come back for more .
I was thinking ... petroleum jelly mixed with hot pepper mixed with , say gasoline ? Anyone have any better ideas ? Maybe some stinky Eucalyptus oil thrown in ?

a girlfriend of mine had animals digging up her lawn and eating her roses...she put a BIG plastic snake on her lawn...the kind you get at toy stores or at costume stores.. her gardener swears by them because the animals are afraid of snakes....natural predators...it would scare me away...LOL...SEAVIEW

ROFL !!!! Oh I CANT WAIT To see what my Brooklyn neighbors are going to think when I start marking my garden's perimeter !!!! ( they'd probably call animal control if I got a fake snake lol ! )
LOL Im SURE the squirrels ( and the neighbors ) would find the show QUITE daunting ... as a matter of fact I might just have the ENTIRE row of backyards all to myself all summer LOL !!
seriously nitrogen rich "yellow liquid " fertilizer is often used for Chinese vegetables .... and I have a regrettable habit of forgetting this and TASTING the amazing looking produce in the Chinese grocery store before stir frying it . I havent died yet though ..or even gotten sick...
This is why Chinese cuisine uses no raw vegetables .. because night soil was traditionally used as the fertilizer . Hey its recyclycling at its best lol!!
The stuff I mixed up is satisfyingly gooey , stinky AND irritating .... im going out to smear it on the fence .
Seeded all alpine strawberries at the landlord's request ... he was like a gleeful little kid last year searching under the little bushes in the hanging baskets for the delicious little juicy mouthfuls .
Got him out there watering and picking a lot more than usual so its all good ...men are like big kids aren't they ? Usually when i go sailing in the hottest part ofthe summer its a garden disaster - last sumer it wasn't thanks to the strawberries .
Maybe Ill plant some in front and get those containers watered too

OHHH I was Naughty !!! I not only smeared my OWN fence I jumped the fence and continued to smear the squirrel highway all along my neighbor's ....
I know she's in Italy so she didn't see ... but she's sure to see the EVIDENCE ... then again maybe she likes to keep her lily bulbs too....
the fat flying rat was out there in the RAIN ALREADY digging so the smearing came just in time ....
the drawbacks of being the first all-U -can eat animal buffet open on the block lol
Im happy t report ( two hours later ) that they still haven't come back Its still a bit early to start doing the victory dance but .... i can give a coupla JUMPS .
The HOT pepper LIT their nasty LIL BUTTS !!! great Idea Stacey !
