Best way to control animals?

**KatBUSA** · 06-23-2012, 02:14 PM

So there is a random animal that has dug up 3 of my plants. I'm guessing its either a groundhog or a raccoon. I have also had deer and slugs nibbling on the leaves and topped a couple more. On the bright side at least nature topped for me

. What is the best way that people have found to repel and prevent animals from damaging plants? This is what I have done so far. I have put down a barrier of slug killer on the ground in a circle 3 feet from the plants. I have also put down some repels all animal repellent. I hope this helps some. Any more ideas?

only cages will keep away the beasts. tough thick wire and small holed chicken wire have been a good combo for me

Man I had a problem like that but I found my plant under a few inches of soil and replanted it and it grew an inch the next day, but do what I do with coons load up a shot gun with slugs and shoot those little fuckers right between those bandit eyes.... I kill almost every coon I see when I have any one of my guns with me those shits carry rabbies out here and I got horses but anywase I put sticks inthe ground all around my site and I haven't had a prob scence I did that if u look for my thread an go to the 3rd page ull see it I got the idea from that be bear grills show lol

I don't waste my time on the stuff. A few hand sized rocks around the base of a platn and no problems. It was squirrels that dug your plants up, they only do it to see what you buried.

put up 4 signs around the perimeter of your plants that say "No animals beyond this point"

They will respect the signs

I think I'm going to try 8 signs in bright yellow and place them in straight lines so the fucking animals cant miss them. Whats a good font to use?
