Something that everyone can relate to is the fact that gardens tend to attract wildlife. Most of the time you'll be able to go out into your garden and then you'll see a little bit here and a little bit there of traces of something nibbling. Bunnies tend to love flowers, while deer and other animals like to nibble on corn and other vegetables.
You don't want to harm these creatures, but you also don't want to have them ruining your garden either. The key is to take some control over the garden without having to hurt the animals.
When you want to avoid things like deer, you'll want to place hair around the garden, because they cannot stand it. You'll want to keep in mind that hanging some soap on a fence will also keep the deer out of your garden. If you would like there are many other ways that you can keep other animals out of your garden without having to set traps or hurt them.
Most of the time if you something that smells awful to the animals, then they will never come back again. You'll need to consider that there are many ways for you to deal with your wildlife problem, but you'll first need to identify what the problem may be.
There are a lot of things that you will want to consider when it comes to getting rid of the animals. There are things like bath oils and other oils that will give off a scent that the animals will turn their noses at. You'll want to keep in mind that when you mix some sprays with these oils, you'll be able to keep the pests out without harming any of them, but also not harm the fruits, veggies, and plants that you are trying to protect.
If you have an animal problem, then you'll want to consider what it is that you are growing and then what it is that you can do to keep them out. Like, if you have a cat problem, which many of us do, you may want to plant catnip at another part of the yard, so that they are attracted to the catnip and not your flowers.
You'll also want to consult the professionals on your problem. You'll want to call your local greenhouse and ask the florists and local gardeners what they would do to keep the pets out. Also, don't be afraid to go online and look for safe, home remedies.
It is very important that you learn how to deal with the pests without hurting anyone or any thing.
