A concoction potion repellent for pesky varmints!

Here's a possible repellent for raccoons, skunks and other vermin that want to come snooping around your camp spot and panniers in the middle of the night.
Cayenne pepper/Black pepper/Garlic powder and...Habanero peppers minced up in a Zip-loc bag kept inside your panniers.
At first I would barely unzip just a little bit the Zip-loc bag and keep it OUTSIDE of your panniers. Just in case this concoction doesn't bring the desired repellent against pesky varmints.
Leave outside your panniers or tent while camping. Find out what the results were the next morning. As I mentioned, unzip the bag slightly so that the aroma can do it's thing.
On a side note, when camping it is always a good practice to NEVER leave any food inside your panniers, tent or near your camp site. Always eat your food and meals AWAY from your camp spot.
This idea is just a extra safeguard idea to double down to keep away those pesky varmints while you sleep.
