I tried blood meal to keep out squirrels....I couldn't see where it helped, at all. I *think* the cayenne pepper (ground stuff, not flakes) did more good . I'd also heard that "big cat" scat would deter them...preditor smell....but, While I haven't tried BIG cat scat (lions, or tigers !!), the "neighbor hood cat scat doesn't deter ANYTHING, but me !! Nothing like picking up a dried "rhizome" that ISN'T a rhizome !!
