I tried that pepper idea on dogs to keep them out of the garbage. My crazy
dogs decided the only thing they like better than table scraps in the
garbage is table scraps with hot sauce! oh well..

Regards to the list:
We had those pesky things already too! I sprayed them with a mixture of
pickling lime and water - about 1/4 cup lime to a gallon of water. Have
to keep shaking the sprayer to keep it mixed up. When the rain washed
that off I sprayed with my habanero spray. Take about a half cup of
dried habaneros, throw into a big pot of water (I use a large stock pot
or a canner) and boil. Let cool and pour through a strainer. This got
rid of the bugs. The rabbits will take one bite and do flip flops.
It's a lot more fun than shooting them. Also, the deer won't come back
for another bite. My huge plot of habaneros is not for human
consumption, it's to make pesticide.
