Controlling Animal Pests in the Garden

Physical barriers present effective, non-chemical animal pest solutions. Row covers, cloches, and fencing (like our beloved Chicken Wire Collection) protect young plants from hungry wildlife including deer, rabbits, moles, and rodents. These barriers prevent pests from reaching plants while allowing sun, air, and water to circulate and nourish them. Call in reinforcements with our selection of garlic clips, natural repellents, and more. Combine multiple pest management strategies to achieve the best results, and be sure to explore our Pest & Disease encyclopedia and resource hub!

Animal Pest Control FAQs

  1. What are humane ways to control animal pests in the garden?
    Humane animal pest controls include motion-activated sprinklers, ultrasonic repellents, live traps (followed by relocation where legal), fences and other barriers, and natural applications. These options protect your plants without harming wildlife.
  2. Are there plants that naturally repel animal pests from the garden?
    Yes, certain plants can repel animal pests. For example, garlic, onions, and marigolds can help deter rabbits, while mint and rosemary may repel deer and rodents. Strategically placing these plants around your garden can reduce unwanted visitors.
  3. How do I keep rabbits and deer out of my garden?
    To keep rabbits and deer out, install physical barriers like fencing or chicken wire, and use natural repellents as needed. Planting deer-resistant plants such as lavender or yarrow can also help deter them naturally.
  4. How can I stop birds from eating seeds and fruit in my garden?
    Use netting, reflective tape, scare devices like fake owls or shiny pinwheels, and mesh covers. These deterrents help keep birds away without causing harm.
  5. What’s the best way to keep moles and gophers out of my garden?
    To deter moles and gophers, use underground barriers like hardware cloth, apply natural repellents, or install vibrating stakes that disturb tunnels. Removing grubs from your soil can also make your garden less attractive to moles.
