Whether we’re talking about pests or pets, animals might enjoy the taste or scent of some of your plants, so some of them will take a liking to your garden. The following tips should help you keep them away in an effective and humane way:
- If you have household pets, start training them to stay away from your garden and your fragile plants.
- Put up a small fence, if needed, and make sure that any cats and dogs you have will not go near it.
- An electronic or invisible fence is also a good idea. This type of fence will emit a small electric current or inaudible sound that will discourage animals from getting near it.
- Keep your animals inside for the most part, and make sure that they are supervised when they go outside.
- Train cats, dogs and other pets to play in the back yard in an area that’s farther away from your garden.
- Treat your garden with natural substances from The Richlawn Company and put natural scents that animals don’t like.
- Plant herbs that your pets or other animals don’t like getting near (usually because of their scent).
- Set up a security camera to see what types of animals get into your garden, so you’ll know what to use to keep them away.
- Plant sensitive herbs and plants inside of an area surrounded by herbs that rabbits and other pests don’t like.
- Place humane traps around the garden so you can capture any pests and then set them free farther away from your house.
