A friend is having trouble with rabbits eating her tulips. Here is what she has tried already: critter repellent, but they don’t seem to mind. Hot sauce on the leaves (don’t do this, but bunnys don’t mind, and it kills the leaves),dog hair around the plants, garlic around the plants. Bear in mind that she has children and pets, so can’t use anything toxic. Are there any home remedies or natural solutions to keep the rabbits out of her garden? Thanks!
I have moles taking over my yard and eating all my young plants. I am looking for a natural remedy to get rid of them. I don’t want to use poisons because of my dogs and children.
Please, if someone could suggest something, I would be so greatful.
Well, the title pretty much says it all. I recently adopted a wadi dog (like a stray). She is part alsation, part something else. She ISN’T potty trained. There’s a specific spot in our living room where she ALWAYS pees. I stand ouside with her for AGES, and she just potters around sniffing the plants. WE don’t have a very big garden or anything, just a few pos and stuff. She refuses to pee outside, and whenever she comes inside, once i take my eye off her, she takes a whizz in that specific spot. I’ve GOT odour repellent spray, and i’ve tried. But it doesn’t work. I’ve also ried vinegar AND lemon and nothing works!!!!! She’s one year old…..Thanks!
well.we cant put her in a crate because shes massive..not like she’d stay in the crate anyway. wat are some training techniques…kind of wat im asking. ty for the advice tho!!!
oh and also wat we did was not allow her in the room that she always pees in…(the tv room) i think thats beginning to work but she doesnt give us any signnssssssssss wen she needs to pee she just flippin squats and b4 u no it uve got a puddle.
Repelling bugs with pennies, water and plastic bags creates an optical illusion for the bugs, and it establishes an invisible barrier around an outdoor living space. Hang plastic bags full of water and a few pennies around a patio setting withinformation from a sustainable gardener in this free video on gardening.

I DO NOT HAVE DOGS I am asking for a tested product or homemade whatever that keeps street dogs away from the tires.
Oh yeah and away from the plants.
PLEASE something tested that could be sprayed .

MASTERS – Multi-Aspect Sensory-Targeted Enemy Response System. Having a problem with deer or other unwelcome animals turning your “red gold” into brown gold? Fences a bit unsightly? Here’s a deer (or any animal) repellent technique for the backyard garden using a motion-activated water sprinkler ( I bought it on amazon), along with a homemade piece, a couple of pie plates with a bar of Irish Spring soap inside to serve up a nasty dose of sound (sprinkler and drum sound from water hitting pie pans), sight (the water spout and the wobbling, spinning pie pans with a scary face sporting fangs), smell (irish spring soap), taste (irish spring soap) and touch (water spray). This allows the attacker (you!) to hit on all of the intruder’s senses at once. An overwhelming display of force. The proverbial “Shock and Awe”. Message to intruder: You are not welcome here! The sprinkler works like it is supposed to, and the pie plates add another angle to trying to get a handle on problem animals. Water enters into the holes I made for the “eyes” on the pie pans. It drips over the soap and exits throungh a little hole on the bottom of the pie pans. After the sprinkler goes off, you can definitely see and smell soapy water dripping from the bottom of the pie pans. Some of the diluted soapy water may get sprayed on the enemy as it drips out the bottom of the pie pans during an event., whicjh is a beautiful thing. The plants emerge completely untainted. This method is much easier than …
