Squirrels are such lil' s%#*$. You could go buy some black oil sunflower seed at $.50/lb or less, or some cracked corn (it goes for $.35/lb here), and put that out for the squirrels as far away from the tomato plants as you can get. Here, the squirrels are kept so busy stealing my bird feed that they have never thought about trying tomatoes. lol
Can hot pepper sprays be sprayed on tomato plants? I don't know. But hot pepper is one strategy they incorporate into bird seeds. Birds can't taste it but squirrels can.
