Also, I know Mogli never liked hot sauce (tobasco, etc). If I just had it on my finger he'd make a face something awful. If your babies react to something non-harmful like this, you could put some on or near the garbage. I think there's commercial products like no-chew type stuff with a similar effect.

They need a firm, completely deterring thing to be associated with the garbage so they can build that mental connection and live by it.
That is absolutely wonderful advice thank you
