How to Keep Pets and Other Animals Out of your Garden

    • 1). Use Scent Repellants. Most animals hate the taste/smell of citrus & mint. Put posts around your garden and rub some citrus or mint essential oils on them. You can also put citrus peels all around your plants. Scent repellant pellets can also be found at your local home goods store.

    • 2). Sprinkle Lion Dung in the soil. Well, if you can stand the smell. It smells worse than feces or urine, but it'll keep the animals out-they find the smell repulsive! I wonder why!

      Scarecrow - Motion Sprinkler

      Invest in a Scarecrow. No, not that kind of scarecrow! This Scarecrow is a motion censored sprinkler. As soon as the animal approaches the vicinity they will get sprayed with water! It really works! Many home goods store carry the Scarecrow, or visit Amazon.com to have it delivered to your house.

    • 4). Put up a fence. There's always the conventional option of putting up a little fence. Depending on how bad your animal problem is, you can put a small fence around the garden, or you can put a wire fence along the top.

    • 5). Take the mothballs out of the closet and sprinkle them in the garden soil. Pets hate the smell of mothballs, and that should keep them clear across the yard!

    • 6). Heat them out! Make a mixture of cayenne and red pepper. It's harmless to the animals, but one sniff and they'll be out of there.
