I think so, though I bought mine online. Here's one at PetSmart with mixed reviews. Just be careful, some dogs actually like the taste so you don't want to spray it on everything before testing. I would try one specific thing that your dog chews a lot before putting it all over.
They also sell other "no-chew" sprays like Fooey that last about a week.
Again, though, the spray isn't a replacement for regular obedience training. You'll still need that, this is just a little extra help if you have a particular piece of furniture that seems to get attacked more than normal, or for extra precaution.
Oh, and I meant to say Bitter Apple spray, not Sour.
my pug was obsessed with tugging on his leash. i broke the habit with fooey spray https://www.amazon.com/SynergyLabs-Fooey-Ultra-Bitter-Spray/dp/B000FOYMFU. its basically just super biter and i would spray it on his leash, only took a couple times before he gave up on tugging it.
My fuzzies enjoy nibbling on anything rubbery, but I've never actually had them be diligent enough to chew through it. If you're worried, use this. It tastes awful, so she will eventually learn to avoid the nasty tasting cord. If you do use this, don't just spray it, the particles will go everywhere and you'll end up tasting it. Daub some onto a paper towel and wipe down the cord.
As for the zip ties, look at them. Is she tearing pieces off? If so, she could swallow them and you obviously don't want that. If they're sturdy enough that she can't do any damage, I think you'll be fine.
I petsat someone's ferret who enjoyed scratching and biting at the carpet immensely, but my two fuzzies show no interest in that. So you'll just have to watch and see what she does.
Other tips:
I believe it's pretty commonly accepted that ferrets prefer water bowls to water bottles. Would you want to drink water by flicking up a little ball and getting one drop at a time?
Look at this if the zip ties are a problem, then you won't need them.
You could buy some bitter spray that is normally used to deter cats.
