How to keep animals away from your garden: Keep your crops save

Wild animals and birds can be a real threat to your garden, because they can eat or somehow destroy lots of your plants.

If a regular scarecrow doesn't work well, then you need some more tips on how to keep your crops unharmed.

Here are some of them.

Fence your garden

Install a sturdy fence around your garden area to create a physical barrier that prevents animals from entering. 

Secure potential entry points

Inspect your garden for any gaps, holes, or openings that animals can use to access it. 

Use animal repellents

Various commercial repellents are available that emit odors or tastes disliked by animals. 

Remember to reapply them regularly, especially after rainfall.

Create noise and motion

Install motion-activated devices such as sprinklers or lights in your garden. 

Remove attractants

Eliminate anything that might attract wild animals to your garden. 

Plant strategically

Choose plants that are less appealing to wildlife or that have natural repellent properties. 

Provide alternative food and water sources

If possible, create alternative feeding and watering areas away from your garden. 

Use physical deterrents

In cases where specific animals pose a persistent problem, consider using physical deterrents tailored to them. 

Observe local regulations

Some areas may have restrictions on certain deterrent methods or require permits for trapping and relocating animals.
