  Sprinkle the chopped peels with ground chili powder. Toss lightly to coat the peels with the chili powder. If you are using a blender, use the pulse feature to mix the ingredients.
  
  
• 5). Spray the ammonia/water mixture on the peel/chili mixture and leave to dry.
  
  
• 6). Liberally spray the ammonia and water mixture on any colorfast surface, such as fence posts, gates, sidewalks and driveways. You can also spray it around car wheels, boats and trailers. When applying to outdoor buildings, concentrate on the the corners and the doorways. It is not recommended that you use this formula indoors because the fumes can concentrate and cause eye irritation.
  
  
• 7). Pour the dried peel/chili mixture in the nylon pantyhose and tie the ends to make a small bundle. If you want to make multiple bundles, expand the recipe accordingly.
  
  
• 8). Place the bundle on the ground by the plants where you want to repel dogs and cats to make a long term repellent. If desired, make small holes in the nylon pantyhose to allow you to sprinkle the mixture on the ground along property lines and sidewalks or around your garden area.
