Do you want to get rid of the pests on your property? Mice, squirrels, raccoons, pigeons, and even cats can be real pests when they leave you a mess to clean up, or get into your new plants or birdseed.

Instrustions

Things You'll Need:

* Spray bottle
* Ammonia
* Gummy Drop/Peppermint Extract
* Moth Balls
* Vaseline
* Cut up black garden hose
* Air fresheners
* Chili powder

Step1


1. Lets start with the cute ones first. Is the neighbors darling little kitty getting into you garden using it for his own personal litter box? Well, if so give this a try.
Cut up an old (or new) black garden hose and lay sections of it around your garden beds, only a little piece of it needs to show. The cats will think these are snakes and stay out. Hey, nobody ever said cats were smart.

2. Are those sweet deer nibbling on your tress and shrubs? It is said that if you hang a few car air fresheners in your tress, bushes, or shrubs it will stop their snacking.

Get a spray bottle and fill it with ammonia, lightly spray the insides of the garbage cans and the bags. They hate the smell of ammonia.

4. Squirrels love birdseed and new plants to keep them away put blood meal around the plants and chili powder or cayenne pepper mixed with the bird seed. The pepper won't bother the birds but the squirrels hate it.

6. And everybody's favorite the rat or mouse. You can always go with the old standby the trap with a gummy drop instead of cheese or the more mouse friendly way of using peppermint or moth balls. Put some peppermint extract or moth balls in a few containers and set them around where you have seen the little guys.

7. Teenagers. Sorry you are on your own.
