Squirrels love to dig in my pots every fucking Fall and knock over all my babies. I used to just sprinkle cayenne all over the soil (these are all potted plants but tbh I'd imagine doing it to in-ground stuff would be fine, provided you reapplied it after rain/etc) and it worked well enough to keep them away. Also had the bonus of keeping my roommate's dog away too, since he'd like to try and get at the Vick's Plant I have (for whatever goddamn reason. dog loved the minty smell i guess).
