I have some Bitter Apple you spray around the home to keep indoor pets

Any experience with these?

Ropel works on what the animal is chewing on so the item needs to be
sprayed and I don't think I would take the chance the the "taste" would

How would sprinkling cayenne pepper on them, or better yet, habanero, work?

When we had a dog eating eggs, we fixed some special eggs for him, filled
them with a bit of cayenne pepper - cured him completely!
