I have two groundhogs that are eating my green bean plants. I don't want to kill them just deter them from eating them. Is there a spray that I can use that has hot pepper taste that might make them stop eating them. I have tried live traps but they wont go in. To smart I guess, or they like my beans better.

What are your suggestions.

Did you try baiting the trap with apples? They love them.

Yep, they are two of the smartist groundhogs that I have come across. I read somewhere that if I use 2T dish detergent and a half bottle of hot sauce to a watering can of h2o that this would deter them. I will try this before I get the gun.LOL

So I got the hottest hot sauce that I can find which is called devil tongue, if you put 1 drop of this sauce on a cracker and eat it, it will bring you to tears.
