.... The trick is to make sure that they can NOT see what is on the other side. i have no desire to put up a solid fence. 6ft is sufficient here but 8ft is better. also having various obstructions and uneven footing around makes it harder for them to try it. songbird |

The trick is to make sure they can see what in on the other side and they won't attempt it We were having problems with critters invading the garden so we bought a motion activated device that hooks up to the hose and noisily squirts a stream of water when activated. It can be adjusted for range of squirting, from straight ahead to over 180 degrees and set for night, day, or both. Very sensitive; we both got squirted when coming too close to the garden after dark. Paul |
