The active ingredient in all hot peppers on the browseable bits of
the plants should be a deterrent to all mammals that like eating your
vegetable plants.
rates for re-application depend on the form it's in and the weather.
If it's a spray that leaves an oily or waxy residue, it might survive
a few rains. If it's a powder, it might depart after a good breeze.
Warning, dear love eating habenero and cayenne pepper plants as long as
they have something to eat other than the fruit.
