Provide them with water like in a bird bath or get you a bulb of garlic and some hot chili peppers. Mince them and place them in a jar covered with a quart of hot water and place that out in the sun for a day. Strain and fill a spray bottle and spray your plants.!
That didn't work, I think they thought it was candy. We've tried every kind of pepper there is nothing repeat nothing keeps them from digging in my pots to bury peanuts, that the neighbor feeds them
I recommend spreading some shredded Irish Spring bar soap around your plants. You can shred them on a box grater or in a food processor. Animals hate the smell and taste of the soap and, here's the best part, it will not affect your plants. I hope this helps you. Good luck.
We bought some raw peanuts (in the shell) and put a big handful in the garden. They were eaten that day. Next day we put another handful out but moved it more toward the edge of the garden. The following day another handful but a few feet away from the garden. Kept this up for a few days - moving it gradually away from the garden vines. The tomatoes were left alone by the squirrels - they are just eating the easiest thing to find - so we distracted them. No dead squirrels and lots of tomatoes for us - hooray!
Worried about buried nuts too - but none were found in the garden. We found the peanut shells right about where we had left the peanuts. I truly think they were just a couple of hungry squirrels. They never bothered another tomato.
When all else fails I bait a mouse trap with peanut butter and put it where they bother the most. The snap scares the bejesus out of them and they don't come back for a while. Keep switching around, use more than one, the more the merrier. The mouse trap isn't big enough to trap them, just scare them. It has worked for me for squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits.

Cook up some red pepper flakes and spray the tomatoes. Make sure you wash it off before you eat them or you'll be eating instant hot salsa!

Cover them with netting.
Netting helped with the peach tree. Might just work! Thank you❗️
