we coat fence-posts with that pepper juice and ants stay away for YEARS and YEARS.

Thanks for the tip. Should work for porcupines & other gnawers that try chewing their way into barns, chicken houses, & feed bins. I'll remember that.

Pet ower tip: I took a kleenex dampened w/Tabasco and rubbed it along all my electric and computer wires. After a first timid nip...none of the cats I've ever had have shown any interest in the wires. Cured 'em quick and didn't hurt 'em.

Also...much cheaper than that "bitter apple" stuff they sell for the purpose. Plua...you still have a bottle of Tabasco to use...
