I have hordes of squirrels and crows. To keep them out of my
chain link enclosed garden I did the following :
I shot a squirrel and built a little gallows and hung him
from it in the middle of the garden....
A few days later, I did the same with a crow.
Both groups of animals avoid my garden like the plague.
The carcasses stunk a little, but there was no trespassing...
Later in the season, rabbits discoverd my cantalopes. They nibble
the ends of the vines, preventing them from growing and bearing...
I shot one of the rabbits, and hung it also from a little
gallows. My cantalope vines then began to grow again....no
more problems...
Of course, I told my wife that I found the dead animals on
the road, but that was just so I could continue to sleep in the
house.....
Just a suggestion...
