I know that you can put cayenne pepper in with bird seed (it doesn't hurt the birds) to keep squirrels from eating it, so I would imagine that you could sprinkle it around your flower beds to keep the squirrels out.





I would also try bone meal like someone else suggested.
Reply:I asked this same question also on here today. None of the answers given to me though were any good and did not work. I did some research on google and found out that hair (cat, dog, or human) will keep them away. Because it gives them the sense that there is one around. I have 2 big hairy cats so i brushed them collected the hair in a bag and sprinkled it around the flowers. Hopefully this will work, if not it sure made my cats day :)

Reply:Squirrels hate Bone Meal. It comes in a powdery form in any nursery supply store. They try and dig then hate it's taste. It's organic and is also a fertilizer that helps produce root growth.! I use it almost every time I plant anything and squirrels coming looking in the yard but never dig once they try some!
