Rid Annoyance Animals FromYour Yard and Home Vegetable Garden
Written by Susan Malone
If you enjoy having a pristine yard, the kind everyone in the neighborhood wishes they had, or a home garden but are having issues maintaining them because of nuisance animals. There are few inexpensive remedies that work better than many of the pricey that you would find at your local home store. To discourage many vegetable eating animals, sprinkle cut hair around the outside of your garden or yard. If you have a privacy fence you might consider putting hair in a sock and hanging it, but this just does not work as well. Women’s hair or hair that has been using hair products works the better. You do not need a large amount usually couple handfuls will do and you should only have to apply in a couple times. If you are planting brighter vegetables such as tomatoes, which anything that flies seems to love, plant them in a low visibility portion of your garden such as next to your home. This will also keep them from getting burned from too excessive sunlight. Also do not plant flowers around your garden as this will attract more things that fly and bugs to your garden. If you have not had moles you are fortunate. These animals can make your lawn go from looking like the 18th hole to a disgrace. Last summer a friend, who has a home in Columbia, Tennessee, nearly went mad trying to get rid of moles in his yard. By July he had tried everything from trap and shakers to pellets and he was starting to get frantic like Bill Murray on Caddie Shack. He spoke to a golf course supervisor he knew to get advise. Though he thought this guy was joking with him at first, what he told him worked like a charm. Buy several packs, depending on the amount of moles, of Juicy Fruit gum and chew them into the shape of a wax worm. Then make a hole in their hills and put the gum inside. The moles will eat the gum and it will cause them choke and in approx. 3 weeks you will no longer have moles.
