What can be done about birds or animals that climb in the garden, such as raccoons or squirrels?
We recommend two products: Critter Ridder by Havahart and the ScareCrow by Contech. Critter Ridder is a non-toxic pepper powder. Sprinkle it around the perimeter of the garden and in the walkway. Use it proactively, once a month, before the critters discover your garden. The ScareCrow is a motion activated sprinkler. When it detects an animal, it releases a short, but startling burst of water. Place it in the rear corner of the garden bed. Combined, these two products should keep climbing and flying critters out of the garden.
