Squirrels, rats or mice in my plants

check with a local agway or some other type of plants store and ask for fox urine or something of that sort they are a natural predator of the rodents

SOmeone please post if they know the solution to the undetectable rodent who is also gnawing small portions off my tomatoes as well. It wouldn't be so bad if I knew it was a cutter worm, but when the thing eats just enough to make it unedible for me that pi$$es me off. I did have a mole or a vol or something. everyday he'd dig a hole and I'd come home and flood it. FInally I went away for a while and came back and it was amazing the dirt piled up. So I started flooding it again. A tomato plant suddenly dropped down 8-10 inches because I guess he burrowed under it. A while section of my garden just dropped. So I took the bag of spent kitty litter my kids had cleaned out of the box and I sat the bag right in the middle or where he'd expressed squatters rights. I never saw any sign of him after that.

I'd bet that it's birds. They're not affected by capsecin, however you spell, the hot in hot peppers. They treat birdseed with it to keep squirrels from cleaning out the feeder.
