How can i keep animals away from eating my garden?

There are always som animal that comes and eat the food in the garden. most of them live underground.

How can i keep animals away from eating my garden?
Hair clippings from salons and barbershops keep rabbits out for some reason. Most stylists will save a bag for you if you ask. Just sprinkle on the ground around the plants.


For moles and mice and shrews, you will have to mix up a spicy concoction and spray the plants once a week and after every rain/watering. There are many different recipes, mine is veggie oil [so it doesn't wash off in a light rain], cayenne pepper spice, mustard powder, and anything spicy I have on hand. Mix up and put in a spray bottle, and give both sides of the plant a shot. It won't affect the veggies, but you will want to wash them before eating.


Works great for problem deer too.
Reply:If the animals are brown, about the size of a large cat, they may be groundhogs. I got groundhogs to move away to another place by consistently dumping the dirty cat litter from the catbox down their holes.


Or: get a dog. Dogs discourage most animals from taking up residence on your property.


And:


If you live in the country, you can try to shoot them.








If the animals are mice, or voles, you can buy a Sonic Mole Chaser. Northern Tool sells them. Check out their website at northerntool.com, they have another Sonic Repeller for $14.95 along with some other animal repellant products.
