Sprinkling red pepper flakes may deter some snakes due to their sensitivity to strong odors and irritants. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support this method as a reliable snake repellent. While it might create an unpleasant environment for some snakes, it's not guaranteed to keep them away. For effective snake control, it's best to focus on habitat modification and professional pest management.
Soap disrupts the surface tension of water. So if you have fine particles floating in water (I personally use parsley flakes, which float better than pepper does) and you put a tiny trace of soap on your finger, and then touch the water, it breaks the surface tension at that point - but the surface tension of the water on the OTHER side of the flake is unchanged. The surface tension pulls the flakes away from the soap. So the flakes aren't running away - they are being released from the surface tension!
The hypothesis for the phenomenon of "run away pepper" could be that the movement of pepper flakes on a plate is caused by a combination of factors such as heat convection, air currents, and static electricity. The movement may not be random but influenced by these underlying forces.

Yes, cayenne pepper can deter squirrels from digging in your flower pots. The strong scent and spicy taste are unappealing to them.

Always consider humane alternatives and consult a veterinarian if you're unsure about using cayenne pepper around pets.
There should not be any white flakes in bottled water. If you have white flakes in your bottle, do not drink it, throw it away and open a new bottle of water.
Pepper moves away from soap because the soap molecules disrupt the surface tension of the water, causing the pepper to move away from the area where the soap is present.
