Repelling Wildlife
Click here for our video about Deterring Wildlife in Your Garden!
Many times as gardeners we have wild animals that enjoy chewing on the plants in our yards. Other than fences , no single tip will keep mammals from your yard. Remember a dog or child fence is not a rabbit / deer fence. Poisons or baits are a problem because they harm our allies (foxes, owls, hawks) in the battle against the animals that are eating your plants. Poisons may make the problem worse since many of these animals are territorial and will keep moving into your yard. Poisoning and trapping may be illegal (always check with local governments before killing or trapping an animal).
We will cover the most common animals going into the yards of Tagawa Garden customers, but there are many more.
We recommend you visit http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/wild_neighbors/ for help with other wild neighbors.
