13 Home Remedies For Keeping Squirrels Away
Squirrels may be a major thorn in your side. They spend enormous amounts of time eating and digging in your garden (or bird feeder) - but what can you do?
You can take major steps and set out poison, but that has its drawbacks.
You can try and trap them, but that has its drawbacks too.
Or, you can try and repel them with simple things found around your house.
People have found all types of things that can be used for repelling squirrels, but as with all things - some work for some people and not for others.
Take for instance - mothballs. They used to be the number one choice to repel squirrels. Some people still swear by them, but the consensus now is that moth balls are absolutely useless.
So what can you use?
A survey of the net found the following 13 home remedies that people have used to repel squirrels.
Nutmeg and cinnamon
Peppermint oil
Capacin
Jalapeño peppers (mashed in blender)
Serrano peppers (mashed in blender)
Cayenne pepper
Chili powder
Tabasco sauce
WD-40
Aspirins and peanut butter (crush 100 aspirins and mix with peanut butter)
Dog hair clumps
Hair clippings
Used cat litter (placed around plants)
Some of these items you would place around your plants. Things like chili powder, cayenne pepper and similar things can be mixed with bird seed. Believe it or not, these hot spices don't bother birds but their unruly squirrel pals can't stand it.
If one home remedy does not work, try another. As said earlier, some people have more success with some than others.
As a last resort, there are commercial repellents which you can buy at your local hardware store. These obviously will cost more but are a stronger repellent and may have a better effect.

How to Grow Sweet Peppers and Chili Peppers at Home
Some peppers are hot, some are sweet. Some are made for drying, others to be ground into pimentón (a type of paprika from Spain) and others are grown specially to be eaten fresh in salads. The hot varieties form the basis of curries and many other dishes in Asian cuisine.
The pepper and the numerous relatives of its extended family - green, red, orange, yellow, small and spicy, large and sweet - are one of the characteristic ingredients of Spanish cooking. They can be dried and ground into powder to produce pimentón, a unique Spanish flavouring used in a variety of dishes - including paella. They can be roasted or preserved whole by various methods: in vinegar or brine, or peeled and bottled in their own juices. And of course, they can be eaten fresh, as an ingredient in one of countless Spanish recipes or summer salads all around the world. Stuffed whole peppers are common in many cuisines.
Here in Spain, we grow our own red and green peppers and a few varieties of hot chilli peppers, both for the kitchen and as decorative container plants. We freeze most of our sweet peppers for use in stews and casseroles and use them fresh in salads. They are a very healthy food and contain large amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A and potassium. If you live in a cooler climate, try growing the variety, 'New Ace'. It is high yielding and tolerant of cooler conditions.
Cayenne peppers are very easy to grow in containers and tend to produce more flowers as you harvest the crop. We find that the hotter the weather the hotter the chilli becomes as it ripens and turns from green to red. You must be careful how you handle chillies as the capsaicin - the chemical that provides the heat - can get into your skin and cause all kinds of problems for you. Don't rub your eyes after handling or preparing chillies and certainly don't touch any other sensitive part of your body (or your partner's...). Wear disposable plastic catering gloves to avoid this problem.
What to grow and how to grow them.
Sweet peppers or bell peppers as they are often called are grown in all temperate countries and are widely grown in greenhouses in Northern Europe. In Spain, and other southern European countries they grow quite successfully in open fields. These large hollow fruits are generally red when ripe, but the yellow and orange varieties are just as popular - especially for use in salads. The red and yellow varieties tend to be richer in vitamins then the green varieties.
Sow the seeds in late March or early April under glass or indoors and plant out into grow-bags or patio planters when they are about six inches high. If you have been following my mini-series of budget cookery articles, you will have learnt how to make your own stone planters. These are ideal for growing your peppers in a back yard or on the patio.
Peppers do not need a lot of feeding, especially once the fruits have formed. Harvest once the fruits turn from green to red and use sliced in salads or dice and freeze for use in casseroles. If you want to grow peppers for decorative purposes on a patio or in a conservatory, then try the yellow/orange variety of 'Golden Ball, or the white/purple variety 'Albino'. Seeds are readily available from any good garden centre or seed catalogue. One tip you can use, is to save the seeds and dry them out on kitchen paper for a few days. Store them in a plastic box and you have next season's supply of pepper seed.
Hot, hot & hotter
Tabasco and Cayenne peppers are a good start if you have not grown chilli peppers previously. Even if you don't use the chillies for culinary purposes, they make splendid pot plants. Tabasco is a Mexican shrub and the fruits are used to make the famous 'Tabasco Sauce'. Cayenne peppers are one of the oldest varieties. Mainly grown in Asia, cayenne is very easy to grow and produces long slender fruits, which can be very hot. Dry them and powder them and you have the well-known 'cayenne pepper' used in Cajun, Chinese and other Asian styles of cookery.
For use in Mexican and Caribbean style cookery try growing 'Serrano', a truly Mexican chilli which is grown commercially all over Mexico. It is easy to grow and produces hundreds of fruits as a bush type plant. Another chilli which is grown all over Mexico and Southern USA is 'Jalapeno' (pronounced halapeeno), named after the town of Jalapa. It is commonly pickled or canned and is often smoked.
If you like your chillies really hot then go for 'Habanero', which is a thousand, times hotter than the jalapeno variety. The Habenero grows all over the Yucatan peninsular and is used a lot in Caribbean cuisine.

Computer Forensics - Demand Equals Big Money
In a world where crooks are becoming more computer proficient and for every fix there is an "undo" created, the field of computer forensics is paying big bucks. Though there are not currently a lot of stringent or even specific education or experience requirements in place, only due to the novelty of this up and coming field, you can expect that training and experience will elevate you to "highly sought after" status very quickly.
Salaries tend to vary widely at this point. For example, those who are working in the public or government sector, such as civilians working for law enforcement, computer knowledgeable police officers, military personnel with specialized training and civilian contractors working for government or state agencies will be on the lower end of the pay scale. They are normally paid a pre-determined salary and in today's economy it has become clear that many states and localities are operating in the red. That said, this is a field that cannot be cut. The risks are too great to ignore the need for this specialized form of crime fighting and regardless of budget constraints, you can expect to have a salary in the starting range of ,000 to ,000. Of course, your earning potential can fluctuate based on your experience, college degrees you may have, secret clearances and upon your more recent training.
In the private sector your options are much broader, especially when it comes to geographic location. You can expect to make top dollar in areas like London, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., Chicago and other highly concentrated metropolitan areas around the world. Even with limited experience and no formal training, you can land a job for somewhere around ,000 annually. Smaller consulting firms sometimes pay a bit more than their larger counterparts, though the market is extremely competitive right now and promises to stay that way. Computer forensic team supervisors or managers can expect their salaries to fall within the 0,000 and higher range.
So, picture this scenario. You are out of work. You have at least a few years of management under your belt and you are smarter than average when it comes to computer knowledge. Or, maybe you even worked in programming or as an analyst, but now find yourself looking for another job due to RIF or other economic factors. Courses are now being offered at almost every major and minor university and college, for both online and in class instruction. As this field is still somewhat undefined and floundering when it comes to the requirements needed, wouldn't you find yourself in a fantastic position if you were to take the necessary courses and become certified in computer forensics? In fact, even those who are midway through their courses are being recruited for positions and are often being reimbursed for their educational expenses as a bonus. And the cost of these courses are minimal compared to a college degree. These are certification courses, not degree courses.
In the field of computer forensics, the potential for promotion and growth is truly amazing. The starting salaries are evidence of the widespread need for new expertise in this field. You can be assured that your days will not be dull and that job security will probably not be an issue. And, you will be way ahead of the game when educational requirements are finally put into place if you have been proactive and shown the initiative to further your forensic education. What are you waiting for?
