Hot Pepper Wax Animal Repellent is a safe, effective repellent for use on plants. The secret, patented formula stops animals like tree squirrels and rabbits from turning your garden and shrubs into their salad bar. Hot Pepper Wax contains no chemicals or poisons, and it's biodegradable - it won't harm the animals or your soil!
The chief active ingredient, capsaicin, is an extract from cayenne pepper. It's harmless to humans - in fact, it's as edible as the sauce on barbecued Buffalo wings. For years, organic gardeners have experimented with hot-pepper home remedies against every pest, from aphids to squirrels. Hot Pepper Wax borrows from the best of their wisdom - and takes it one step further.
Using a special formula and process, Hot Pepper Wax blends capsaicin with highly refined "food-grade" paraffin wax and other ingredients. The result is a spray that coats plants with a harmless, micro-thin barrier to deter pests. Hot Pepper Wax also works as an "anti-transpirant," reducing water loss and resulting stress - a true benefit for new transplants!
Hot Pepper Wax is perfectly safe for garden produce - warm water rinses it completely away!
