Helpful Discussion/Project:, talk about getting overly serious about a non-serious issue. Traversing could be wheel, track, hoping, rail, multiple rotary wing/propeller, or a combination.įurther below you shall find information that may be helpful to you. Provide a small rough terrain traversing vehicle that is capable of patrolling a defined space, detecting critters, avoiding large creatures like humans, dogs, and cats, and finally in a nonlethal manner discourage critters from roaming the defined space. ![]() Plus the neighbors do not like me using snakes and falcons. These critters are tearing-up my lawn/garden. Last week I looked around and decided that I need a rabbit, chipmunk, and/or squirrel chaser. See for the details of these earlier designs. The golden rule is create something of interest with parts on-hand: no store or on-line shopping. I had already successfully pond tested a new fishing lure design (23 inch Bass), completed an ultrasonic speed gun and published a ventilator simulator prototype design. Now that we have exhausted the easy "chemical" solution, let's look at possible Arduino based solutions.īefore adding the "Korean hot sauce" epistle, I was looking for something to fill a little "lock-down" time. After a couple of tries you should be able to identify a good balance between feeding the birds with lightly spiced feed and keeping the squirrels at bay. What that means is the you need to arrive at a point where the birds learn to eat around the paste and bob for the mealy. But that spoonfull proved to be a bit much for the mealy worms feed. The squirrels were immediately impressed. I would recommend using a lot and then tapper back to a minimal amount. You will need to "learn" about how to mix an effective "shot" of this sauce. The "heat" seems to arise from moisture or water. ![]() The bottles come in 500mG size and have typically last an entire bird season. After using the sauce "wash your hands" thoroughly. I learned early about the door knobs and lips. Be careful with door knobs until you have washed your hands. I also use a "dry" paper towel to wipe everything clean. I use a plastic spoon that I can discard when need be. But it will generate a "flame experience" it it touches lips. It was designed to enhance the human dining experience. But then they are gone.īe very careful with this "chemical". They paw at the "sauced mealy worm" feeder. But they learn about the smell and associate it with the "burning flame sensation". The birds do not seem to have noticed a difference.īut the squirrels seem to have passed the word around their community about the "killer" sauce. I am now into my third season with the Capsaicin Sauce. This stuff is not only legal, but it really works. His instructions were clear "be careful". He took me to the shelf were he showed me Capsaicn Sauce by .kr. I politely asked whatever they might suggest as being the "hottest" sauce they sold.īottom-line the manager had a good laugh, smiled, and nodded his head. I apologized for any possible "insult" and explained I would like help with my experiment. ![]() They also seemed to work for a while.īut eventually, I wandered into a Korean grocery store. As an experiment, I tried various "common" hot sauces available here. But that suggested that I was on the correct path. But eventually, the squirrels' seem to have grown use to the added flavor. The $10 bottle of "sauce" did work for a while. Apparently, like most mammals squirrels have taste buds. The local bird store owner suggested a $10 bottle of "sauce". I attempted to take the same pathway to address the local squirrels intrusion on my bird feeder.
