Rabbits and Squirrels in the garden,,?

Question

We just recently planted a garden in our front yard and no matter what we try they eat our plants/flowers...any ideas to keep them out?

Answer 1

It sounds gross, but one of the more effective animal deterrents is human urine.  And, you have to keep re-applying it.

I have also heard that scattering human hair in the area works, and also deodorant, etc.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if this will work with your rabbits and squirrels, but it worked for pigeons.  Saturate paper towels with WD-40 and put it around and in your garden.  They hate the smell.  I've also read that cayenne peper sprinkled on the ground is a good deterrent.  You have to renew either after it rains or you water.

Answer 3

Pellet gun and a twelve pack of beer...................

Answer 4

The best method of keeping them out is using a Humane Kill Trap.  The best trap for Squirrels is the Kania Trap 2000

It is effective, species specific, safe to set and produces a humane instant kill every time.
