It is the ire of every gardener to come across unwelcome visitors treading on their home turf. If you constantly stumble across nibbled, damaged or overturned plants, then it is time to figure out ways to keep animals out of the yard.

When pursuing a solution, keep in mind that it should be eco-friendly. Even if you aren’t fond of critters, it is better to use humane methods without harsh chemicals to prevent adverse effects to environmental systems.
