Keep Pests Away from Pumpkins and Gourds

Every year, I make a lovely autumnal arrangement on my porch with mums, gourds, and pumpkins.  And many years the neighborhood squirrels ruin them within a few days.  So this year I got smart and concocted a spray that will deter them from eating anything on my porch.  I am pleased to report that my arrangement still looks fabulous!  You should spray this on the pumpkins and gourds every 5-7 days.  It works like a charm. 

In a spray bottle….

one cup water

1/4 cup vinegar

1/3 jar of small Tabasco sauce or any liquid hot sauce
