No, but don't rub your eyes until you've washed your hands. If it is irritating to humans, it will be similar for rodents. Hmmmmmmm! Does that cause one to think?

I dont know if this would work but my mom always uses dried blood to deter rabbits and deer. Because they are herbivors they dont like the taste/smell of blood. And it have nitrogen and it purks up the plants in the garden. :o)

Hi maybe that what knock over my dahlia that was about 10 in high. I know those guys are really crazy they ate a hole in my plastic pot i could tell by the teeth marks it was a squirrels. Thank god it was only the rim of the pot but the hole was about 2 in dim. So now we not only have bug problem we have squirrels problem bye for now Anna lisa

Watch out for the blood meal- all the dogs in the county came & dug in my garden & knocked over my pots when I tried it years ago. The hot pepper worked well to keep dogs, cats & rabbits out of our borders.
