Last time we spoke it was for a very different reason; we were talking about the majesty of nature, the glory of the untamed and how the devil we were going to lure them into your garden to add a bit of natural spice and colour, not to mention the birdsong, to your garden. Today, however, let us talk about how to keep those more unwanted guests out of your garden. They can range from squirrels taking the nuts from your birds, or to other people’s cats coming into your garden and defecating everywhere, leaving their scent and scaring off other creatures.
Thankfully you can be several products to deter unwanted visitors; you can buy pre made scents to mark your garden to keep out cats, while squirrels are a little trickier to deter (and that;s if you even want to!) You can try to use smaller nut holders, with smaller holes, to deter their pesky mits, but they’re crafty little devils and usually find a way around even the best laid plans.
