Top 10 Ways to Keep Animals Out of Your Garden when Fences Are Not Enough.

10. Animal Urine - animal urine (hopefully it's synthetic - I can't think of someone making a wolf pee in a cup) can be purchased at most garden supply stores. Use fox urine for small pests like rabbits, use coyote urine for deer. However, I never had good luck with urine for combating woodchucks.

9. Pinwheels- Those cheap tin foil pinwheels work very well for keeping rabbits away. Move them around periodically, if not the rabbits will get used to them.

8. Human Hair- Go to your local barber and get a free bag of human hair to throw around the garden, the smell will deter small animals.

7. Dirty Laundry - Hang a few pairs of you nastiest dirty socks (or underwear if you don't mind your neighbors viewing) around the boarder of your garden. The human smell will hopefully deter deer.

6. Hang bottles and pie pans around your garden- The sound of the bottles clanging when the wind blows, combined with the reflective pie pans will scare some deer.

5. Hang a motion detector light- this will only work with large animals like deer. When they move, the light will go on and may scare them. However, they might get used to it.

4. Get a fake dog barking machine- they sells these items in novelty store to deter possible home burglars, but most animals (deer, rabbits, raccoons, woodchucks) will run away when they hear a dog.

3. Plant defensively - Mice hate mint and rabbits hate marigolds, deer and woodchucks will eat anything. Plant marigolds and mint around your boarders.

2. Hang moth balls- Do not put moth balls on the soil, this will damage your soil and hurt your plants, but putting them in a small bag on your fence works. They will have to be replaced often.

1. Buy a transistor radio- I have had great luck with this. Place a transistor radio where it will not get wet and put it on talk radio all night. The sound of a human voice will scare animals. The best is if you have an all night talk radio sports channel because they like to scream.

If all this fails, buy a gun and start hunting.
