spray the wiring itself with a red pepper blend with a dab of oil or an egg yolk added to make it stick to the wire; it's the taste, not the scent of red pepper that deters them . I use dehydrated red pepper flakes in my blender -- no vinegar, salt, etc. like with hot pepper sauces -- http://homeguides.sfgate.com/squirrel-repellent-sprays-tabasco-85489.html if you want to use a hot pepper sauce, there are those MUCH hotter than Tabasco!
