Capsaicin may very well be effective against squirrels (although I haven't found that to be the case...I used to rub pure habanero pepper all over my old bird feeder, then add it to the seed, to no avail...) but Tabasco sauce contains too much sodium and vinegar...I learned that the hard way, killing some veggie seedlings years ago ....there are oil based capasicin sprays that are sold (capsaicin is oil soluble, not water soluble..which is why drinking water after too much hot pepper is not very effective at diminishing the pain...milk is muchg better...), and you could probably make your own easily enough in a blender. Take care, eric Muehlbauer in Queens NY...despite the major rains, paphs are doing very well outside...sukhakulii and concolor still in bud, Sophronites (Laelia) purpurata in full bloom.......
